"I Have a dream" - The dreams of our students

On Friday we spent class writing and talking about our dreams. Many of you wrote about dreams that you have for your country, the world, yourself, and your family. Your words were truly incredible and I think it would be nice if we were able to share some of these dreams with each other. Dr. King's dream was shared by millions of Americans in the 1960's. What are your dreams?

I have a dream... that one day all of my students will go to college and live successful and happy lives.

I have a dream... that one day we will all live in a world that has no conflict based on race, religion, country or culture, and that Peace will be the norm.

I have a dream...that one day I would be a teacher...that I could spend my days talking with and instructing kids...
I never dreamed I would be a principal. I didn't think I would be as happy as I was as a teacher. I was wrong. My dream for 582 has surpassed any dream I've had.You've all made my dreams possible...

I want to offer my thanks to Mr. Corbett, Mrs. Cappellino, and Mr. Isbell, and the 8th Grade students for the amazing presentation they put on today. Reading Dr. King's other-worldly "I have a dream" speech, the artwork...all combined to give the most powerful presentation. I was very happy that we invited the entire "582" community to take part in the 8th grade presentation. It was very powerful.
Dreams are very important. Dr. King shared his with an America that largely didn't want to hear it. But he persisted. We are confronted every day with people who challenge our dreams. We cannot be less strong than Dr. King. Our school motto is "make what you believe in, happen." Like Dr. King we have a dream for our school community. We must continue to make it happen.
Thank you for all your hard work.
