Credential Programs
April2022
Happy Spring! During this time of reflection and anticipation I hope that you are starting to think about the wonderful work that you have done. This year has been one of the longest and hardest that anyone can remember. Through it all, you have persevered. I know at times it felt impossible and you may have questioned why you were putting yourself through this. Thank you! Thank you for doing the hard work and believing that you were making a difference even when it was beyond hard. Thank you for showing up and being a champion for kids even when you were tired. Take some time at your collaboration meetings this month to spend more time than usual talking about what is working and what has gone well. Sometimes things change so slowly that without intentionally paying attention we miss them. As you are beginning to wrap up your induction work and the school year and starting to look toward next year, take some time to celebrate what you have accomplished this year.

With gratitude,
Stacy
