As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, we often reflect on the things we have to be grateful for. In terms of a learning community, East Longmeadow High School is very fortunate that we are in a community where so many parents and students understand and appreciate the value of a good education.
We are very fortunate to have teachers who are always looking to provide meaningful and rigorous lessons for their students so they can leave ELHS ready for the world. Our teachers very work hard and we are thankful for their commitment.
We are very grateful for our students who might not always agree with the policies in place here at ELHS, but understand the view for the greater good and are, for the most part, always respectful of the adults and their classmates in our building. It is our students who inspire the adults at ELHS to work hard to give them the very best education around.
We are grateful as well for our support staff: our custodians, nurses, counselors, paraprofessionals and secretaries who make sure our building is safe and functioning smoothly. Their role in our community is crucial and we could not function effectively without them.
I am grateful for the opportunity to work everyday in a place that is so inspiring, challenging and fun- where everyone understands that getting better every day is the focus and are willing to roll up their sleeves to learn and grow.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I hope that the next year continues to bring you all many blessings.
