Letter To The Children . . .

Dear Children of Robert Frost School,

I am writing this letter to you to let you know how special you all are.  You know who I am, I am a teacher that feels fortunate to have had you in my life over the years. 

Let me tell you more about me.  I became a teacher because I wanted to make a difference.  A difference in the lives of children just like all of you.  I wanted to not only teach you how to read, write and do math, but also to become strong independent thinkers and problem solvers.  I loved when you got excited about learning and when you even taught me a few things.

Now I would like to ask you something.  When you look in the mirror, what do you see?  Do you see someone that may become a doctor who heals people, a scientist who may find a cure for cancer, a lawyer who will fight for people and their rights or even a teacher who will make a difference for another generation of children?

Do you know what I see?  I see children sitting right in this room who are our future.  Children that work hard to be the best they can be.  Children that respect all the differences that make our school so very special.  Children that will make this country better than it is today.  Children that filled my bucket with a few words, a note or even a picture and you didn’t even know how much it meant to me.

And so children of Robert Frost school my message to you today is really simple, reach for the stars, never ever give up on your dreams, and always remember you can do whatever you put your mind to do.  Always work hard and when it seems too hard you know you always have a teacher near by to help you!
xoxo
