The Keynote today was inspiring! The stories of the folks that won awards were amazing! As I heard them, I couldn't help but think about all the great things going on in our district and how much they sounded like the stories of these folks. Before I walked in, I spoke with a gentleman who teaches at Nebo ES in neighboring Paulding County and how he should be nominated. I hope somone will do that for him, because his work certainly seems deserving.
The story of Jim Carleton and Mali Bickley was just as amazing. The way they and their students reached out around the world was incredible. When they ran into a problem, they just kept asking for help until they got what they needed. At one point, they needed to get a package Fed Ex to the other side of the world and just told their admins to do it, that the cost didn't matter. Sometimes you just have to say it and it happens!
