Education and living with Purpose

Purposeful thoughts on advocating for middle school students. Some write blogs on how to be a good educator, I would like to focus on why.

Lighten the Load

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."  e.e. cummings
WEB leaders once again exceed all expectations as they guide 6th graders through a classroom lesson that teaches us all that we can be "weighed down" by things that people may say or do. WEB leaders presented the lesson on Friday December 13th. Our student leaders once again step up to serve the Whitehall Middle School community and build positive culture.  It takes a certain type of courage and kindness to open yourself up and speak up for what is right.  These students do not stand by and hope things will improve, they take action to make change they wish to see. 

Bernard would say,"Our school would be a nicer place if we all help each other lighten the load and don't weigh each other down with putdowns." 

Thanks for landing the plane on this lesson, Bernard. Great job to you all!

Show me how big your brave is."
