Several years ago, I was forwarded an e-mail that had a number of sayings attached. The e-mail did not include any authors for the sayings, although some sound familiar. I read them periodically and they always get me thinking.
It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story.
This got me thinking about a couple of weekends this month. WEA has a program to assist members seeking National Board Certification. The first two weekends in March were Homestretch events — end of year events that bring candidates together with teachers who have already achieved National Board Certification. There were about a thousand WEA members in attendance at the two events, working together to improve the quality of their teaching in order to make public education the best it can be. WEA member dues supported the efforts, so even if an individual member was not there, they chipped in to make the events possible.
And that really is the story. We join together to help each other in order to make public education the best it can be for students, staff, and communities. I have always considered it a privilege to join with you.
