"Sometimes it can be difficult to maintain our optimism."

Published: September 2023

" The work that we do is very challenging, and sometimes it can be difficult to maintain our optimism. But really, optimism must be at the core of how we define ourselves. We are engaged in the process of creating a brighter future by inspiring our students to be more thoughtful, more curious, more creative and more compassionate. And we reaffirm our commitment to this work by believing that through our dedication to each other we can ensure our students have the best schools, best supports and the best opportunities to succeed. If we can remember how powerful we are, we are unstoppable."
