President's Message
Diane Pevsner
The first day of a school year is always filled with excitement. Students
usually arrive in their new classrooms wearing new clothes, carrying a new book bag
stuffed with new school supplies. The expectations are high on the first day of
school. For a successful school year it is very important to maintain that excitement.
When I think about the opening of schools for teachers I am reminded of a
quote my friend Paula Tapia shares frequently (I apologize for not knowing the
original author), "some professionals enter their career for the income while teachers
enter their career for the outcomes." Most teachers enter the new school year with
the hope of making a difference. The beginning of school is packed with
expectations for everyone involved.
