American Education Week

This week is American Education Week, a week to honor our educators for their efforts. From the National Education Association's website:

NEA's 86th annual American Education Week (AEW) spotlights the importance of providing every child in America with a quality public education, and the need for everyone to do his or her part in making public schools great.

Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility reflects the Association's calling upon America to provide students with quality public schools so that they can grow, prosper, and achieve in the 21st century.

I was reminded of a wonderful way to recognize our staff members when Daphne Malcolm emailed the staff to ask that they write a "drop" for at least one other staff person this week. (This comes from the book How Full is Your Bucket? - an excellent book on positive relationships.) If you get a chance, write a note or drop them an email. I'm sure they would appreciate hearing from you.
