President's Note
Welcome back to a new exciting school year. We are not starting out
like we all hoped, with new buildings finished and everyone and everything
in it’s place, but the glass it half full, not half empty. We can look
forward to finishing the year in new classrooms, hopefully having unpacked
and put things away with some sort of method to our madness. We will
be able to someday say, “I remember the year that we moved .....”
We are starting the year under new leadership, both at the central office,
as well as many of us, within the classrooms. Forget the stress of
the move, the loss of familiar people and places... and perhaps some of our
boxes. Let’s start off on the right foot and show the administration
and community what we teachers are made of. A little stress and
uncertainty come with the job. Patience and the ability to quickly adapt
are part of our daily routine. Just like the child looking forward to the
new box of crayons, we look forward to our classlist, waiting with
anticipation to see which students we were assigned and contemplating what
this school year will be like, based on that list Each fall we come
back refreshed, full of new ideas we plan to put in place, things we know
are going to make a difference. Let’s promise that this year
we will put aside any differences, realize each others potential, and take
advantage of the fact that we are starting over and can refresh relationships
between the educators, administrators and community.
Let’s all talk to one non-member and remind them of all their teacher union
does for them. Recruiting new members is everyone’s responsibilty.
The union is only as strong as it’s membership. Let’s start this year
with MGTA Bulldog Pride!
