When is the last time you asked yourself, "What do I believe?" Have you asked your students what they believe? Our level of success is often a reflection of what we believe in ourselves.

Deb’s One Little Word for 2018
"Each scene has its own music, and the music is created for the scene. Woven into it in ways we do not understand no matter how we may love the melody of a bygone day or imagine the song of a future one; we must dance to the music of today.

Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. — Mark Twain
