~ Your enthusiasm and positive energy set the tone for your students. Your attitude is one of the few things you can actually control, be sure to use it wisely!
Hopefully you are all recharged and re-energized. The upcoming 2012-2013 school year is now upon us, and we are entrusted with perhaps the most important job of all jobs... educating and teaching our future's youth. This task is not to be taken lightly. It will require nothing less than the best we have to offer, perhaps even more...
There are rare occasions when everything seems to be aligned just perfectly. In the Union R-XI School District, that time is now... the time when we come together and refocus our energies on doing whatever it takes to personalize and positively impact the lives of our students. Going the extra mile and making that personal connection will be a fundamental piece in achieving our goals.
The Union R-XI School District has reached a "tipping point," and as everything comes seamlessly together, it is more and more apparent that the time is now...
Please find a colleague and spend 4 uninterrupted minutes (with the volume up) to watch this video.
Have a great school year Union R-XI, and be on the lookout for the Monday morning memo!

"Nothing in education puts a bigger ceiling on learning than limiting kids to what’s in the textbook. We live in the age of iPads, Google, and Skype. To the learner that wants to know more, do more, and explore more, the opportunities are there. We just have to think outside the book." via@mcleod
I wanted to share some blog posts, images & videos that could be beneficial to building and district administrators preparing for back to school meetings and kickoffs. If you have other great resources worthy of sharing, please be sure to leave a comment with the link!
