My favorite quote of all time was written by the great Dr. Seuss. He wrote, &#8220;Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It&#8217;s not.&#8221; These words remind me of the incredible power we each hold to make a difference in our children&#8217;s lives and our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This resonates deeply with our mission here at Start Elementary. Every day, I witness the remarkable ways our teachers, parents, and students show they care\u2014whether it&#8217;s through a kind word, a helping hand, or a commitment to learning and growing together. As we begin our 2024-2025 school year, let&#8217;s join together in a committment to our children that we care &#8220;a whole awful lot&#8221; about them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s commit to our Owls by&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>showing our children what it means to care a whole awful lot by getting involved in their education and school activities.<\/li><li>discussing the importance of diversity, empathy, understanding, and helping others. Share stories and examples of caring actions.<\/li><li>acknowledging and celebrate acts of kindness and caring, no matter how small.<\/li><li>taking an active role in our children&#8217;s academic journey by setting aside time each day for reading, homework, or studying\/reinforcing new skills. <\/li><li>encouraing curiosity and praise their efforts and achievements to foster a love for learning!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we can make our school and community a better place. Thank you for caring and for being an integral part of our school family. Let&#8217;s continue to make a difference, one caring act at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beverly Smart<br>Principal, Start Elementary School<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Start families, Welcome to a new year at Start Elementary!
