It's time for school to start! Where did the summer go? Is it me or does the summer get shorter and shorter? However long you may think summer may be, school starts next week. I love the start of the school year. Students are excited. Parents are happy. Teachers love the new look of the classroom. There is not a better time of the year for school.
Tomorrow the teachers come back for teacher in-service. It is a great time to reconnect and get on the same page with ones colleagues. They get to refocus on their mission. We teachers realize that we get to do what God called us to do --teach. A teacher can't imagine doing anything else. It is the most fulfilling occupation.
Students also have such a privilege to learn. As you know from my last blog I visited Kenya in June/July. Students in Kenya are not much different than students in America. Our resources may look different and be more abundant, but the students are similar. They discover. They investigate. They love to learn. They get to have fun while they learn.
My prayer is that all of us will make the most out of school this year. What a great opportunity we have. It is the most wonderful time of the year!
