I am thrilled to work with you this year. I love the excitement of September, the feeling of embarking on an exciting journey. When I originally created this blog, the words of the famous German writer and statesman Johann Wolfgang Goethe inspired me to create a name that captured the essence of the work we do throughout the year. The following quote touches upon the sense of risk-taking and grit that we encourage at P.S. 11:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
Welcome to 3-509! I can't wait to see where boldness takes us this year.
On a side note, families please take a moment to complete the "Important Information" Google form for my records. It will help tremendously! Thank you.
