Rocking the Red for Ed!

Thank you all for your efforts to support education at the state level.  This is leadership in the profession and I am grateful that wonderful teachers like yourself are willing to make signs and march and rally for all students in NC.
I am continuously proud of how cheerful and warm and nurturing you are to your students despite the fact that you are overworked and underpaid. You continue to find joy in your interactions with students and it shows. Rising above is what we do as educators. We keep fighting the good fight as advocates for education, without letting conditions diminish what we do in the classroom. Remember that whatever the politics of the day, what you do every day adds so much value to a child and to the world. Remember the student who brings you a bouquet of dandelions on the playground; the one who asks where babies come from at circle time; the one you couldn't get to write a sentence that now writes essays; the shy one who would not answer a question in class and had trouble making friends, that you now can't get to stop talking.  These are our artifacts.

Congratulations to Ms. McMahon for earning her Master in Reading at ECU! Thanks to the wonders of streaming technology, her students got to see her graduate. We are all so proud of her!!
