I am now in my fifth decade of starting the school year as a teacher, and this past week reminded me once again why education can be such a rewarding profession. While the first day always unearths a few overlooked problems, the overall feeling around HIS was one of slightly nervous excitement, determination to do well, and the optimism of another fresh start. Emotions ranged from the disconsolate wailing of a preschooler just separated from mother, to the bursting cheer of rollicking elementary students, to the studied swagger of a seasoned senior. And while we teachers have our emotions more veiled, we are both excited and resolute in knowing that by doing our professional best; we will make a significant difference in our students’ lives. Thank you for putting your trust in us. Let’s work together for your children’s futures.
