A Unicorn

October 4, 2022

A little while ago, I wasn’t sure if I would stay in education.

I set three criteria/signs that would need to be met if I were to consider going back. They were pretty unrealistic and I only breathed them to a couple of people, saying them jokingly because I knew how outlandish they sounded.

But I knew my values and my work had to be aligned. And I was committed to only considering positions that would support this.

And here we are. Exactly one year at a district that continues to amaze me with its commitment to kids, their families, the staff, the community. How it puts words into action. How it shows care. How it focuses on learning in all areas.

My mom once asked me to describe it. My words: “It’s a unicorn district - magical and rare.”

I am so grateful I get to be part of it and work with an incredible team to support our kids and families in important ways each day.
