NoNoNo

Today was a strange one...funny, as my friend Mary would say, "in a cartoon world.

Everyone saying, "No." "We can't." "We won't." "Ugh, no -- you surely won't."

In a world where a simple word can sometimes inspire greatness and other times dash all hopes, why lead with negatives -- why not lead with strength?

Why let "no" be the word of the day?

Why let "no" be the word of the day when we are talking about a new school...about our children? Let's work together to turn "no" into "I think we can find a way." "I believe in our talent." "I will invest in my community." "I will engage now so that I might create the brightest future."

...for us all.
