It reminds us each day to dedicate ourselves to all aspects of our lives, especially within the field of teaching. This morning as I went to pick up my students, I was thinking about the "all in" theme of our district. I want them to understand its meaning and how we as an entire district are going to give our all. I am ALL IN and I am excited to apply this theme throughout the year.
