Every child. That's exactly who matters. That we look at every child and how we can move them forward.
Will we struggle? yes. Will we doubt we can move that "one" child? yes. Does that mean we give up? no way.
We try and meet their needs by finding what they love to do. We try and connect with them by making a home visit or attending an outside school event. We eat lunch with them. We play at recess. We write them a note. Give their family a call. We tell them we think they're amazing; every day. We find what works and that's what we do.
It takes a lot of trial and error, but the only way we move forward as a campus is when we all come to realize that EVERY kid is our kid. That EVERY kid is who we're accountable to. That EVERY kid needs us to show up every day and give them an education they couldn't even have dreamed of.
We've got this.

In Closing...
As we buckle down and get our hands dirty this Spring we want to remember how important it is to use every moment we have. To always make sure that we are working with kids every minute they're in our presence.
That we're finding ways to celebrate and challenge them. And that we reach out when we're struggling or stuck.
We're in this together. We have to remember that. Because it's going to take all of us to cross the finish line.
