Just recently one of our fabulous Great Falls parents emailed me to share this moving Ted Talk video featuring Rita Pierson, an educator for 40 years. I had seen it many times before, but honestly, it's a message you can not hear enough!
Rita's inspirational talk really gets to the heart of our work - KIDS! The most important job as educators (and administrators) is to make connections with kids and build relationships that matter. Relationships that make children know they are cared about, they are loved, and that there are people who will advocate for them.
We all want to feel connected to something and someone! Here is a good reminder to all parents and educators that "every child needs a champion!"
