How can I express my since appreciation to my fellow educators for your steadfast dedication to your students, your families and your greater community?  This time of year can be tough for educators; students have spring fever, end of  year meetings seem to last forever,  paperwork is never ending and the thoughts of, “If only I had…” go through our minds.  We often reflect on what we did not accomplish while beating ourselves up and fail to celebrate the great things that were achieved.

In hopes of reigniting your idealism and celebrating your contributions to humanity, I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy these video clips!
