Convocation

During this year's Convocation, we had the opportunity to hear Jamie Vollmer, businessman, education supporter, and author of Schools Cannot Do It Alone.  After a short introduction, he began with the Blueberry Story.

He spoke about educators having the power to make the change necessary for the rest of the country to understand and appreciate education and what we do on a daily basis.  Educators must speak positively about their jobs, co-workers, and students whenever in public. They must use their voices to change the public's negative perception of teachers and schools.

I really enjoyed his speech, and now I would like to read his book.
