Spring is here but you'd never know it by the snow outside. I hope all students and families have a restful and relaxing spring break and that everyone uses this time to reflect on what is important in our lives these days. I know personally, my priorities have shifted a bit this past year.
Returning from spring break is always tough, for both students and teachers. Although you might think that having a vacation should make it easier to come back to school, in fact, it is just the opposite. Our routines have been disturbed, the sun calls to us, and the school year is later than ever this year, making the last few months of school last a lifetime. Compiling to this, our state requires that we test our kids the week after our county calendar puts us on vacation. It's not ideal, but we will get through it, like every other year. After all, if anything, this last year has taught us to be resilient and take things in stride. However, we do need your help in getting students to school, even when they are unmotivated and don't want to get out of bed.
I am so proud of our staff and students for not giving up in what seems like insurmountable obstacles. I am proud that we have come together to support or school family and community. I am proud that we have so many students excelling in an unprecedented age of education. I am proud of my staff who have gone above and beyond their classroom walls to connect with students and support them in their time of need. I am so thankful for all of the blessings that surround me, the students, and the staff at Buchanan High School.
Together, we are #BUCKSTRONG!
