“Adversity
doesn’t build character, it reveals it.”

High School Principal
You
can feel it. You can feel the fatigue as it lingers in the air, in everyone’s
voice and their body language, You can read it on their faces and in their
half-hearted smiles as we greet each other in the morning for the 154th or so
time this school year.
Like
marathon runners entering their 24th mile, we are tired. Tempers are short, our
patience spent and we are all looking forward to seeing the finish line.
But
though the end is near, it is not yet here, and how we finish the school year
is just as important than how we began the school year.
With
that being said, it is time to rally whatever strength we have left, tap into
our reserves and push for the successful conclusion of the school year.
So
pull up your bootstraps and let’s get this one in the books.
Remember
why you are doing this. Remember why you come to work each day. Keep your eye
on the prize. Your students need you at your best.
How
and where will you lead them. Making Kennedy the school of choice. Excellence
by design.
