Mrs. Miller's Cardinal Chronicle

I have always loved this quote. It is spoken with the simplicity of a 6 year old, but it has a very impactful meaning.

As parents and educators, we have a tremendous impact on our kids. Students of all ages apply meaning to what we say and do. From a school standpoint, this includes the areas of academics, behaviors, and everything else. This does not apply to teachers only. All staff members who interact with our students have an impact on our kids. That is why working in education is so important. We help shape students' confidence and self worth by our words and actions.

Our GHV staff strives to be the people who build our students up. We believe in them even when they may not believe in themselves!

This is NOT foreshadowing for winter weather to come...hopefully! Instead, this quote has a powerful meaning.

In order to be at our best to live up to the incredible responsibility of building up our students, we need to work together. We need each other! We must create an environment where we can lean on each other, share our insecurities and vulnerabilities, give each other ideas and solutions, and help build each other up. It's imperative for families, community, and schools to partner together. That's what teamwork is all about, and that is what is best for our kids.

Let's work together to make a positive impact!
