Hi.

I'd like to take this time to stop, take a minute to reflect on the year
that we have had thus far.

Let us all remember the beginning of the school year, before we knew who all
of our students were going to be, before we had even greeted them...let us
all recall that brief moment before the first day of school, when we were in
our car or other mode of transportation, and we pulled up to school; that
feeling of anticipation, expectation, excitement, and hope.

That last one is the one that I, not the Committee, not the Decider, I,
would like us to think about.

What hope do you have for your students? What hope do you have for your
classroom? What hope do you have?

If you feel like it, respond throughout the day by clicking "reply to all".
(Sorry to those of you who don't like it when I say that. You can just
delete all of the e-mails you get that say "Re: PSA".)

Thanks,

Tommy
