MEMO MINUTES
Vol 3 October 2011
PURPOSE driven life, is a familiar phrase, which has been used in the religious, business and political sectors over the past few years. It is a phrase, which captivates the attention of many because of the significance of the word purpose. This word reflects having a sense of mission or a task to accomplish. Having a "purpose driven life" can also mean, "making a difference with your life". Most everyone wants to make a difference in this world and feel pride in significant accomplishments. As educators, we are among the legacy builders, the ones who make a difference in the lives of children. Having a defined purpose is what motivates us to continue doing a job well done. This motivates us to believe that we are playing a vital role in initiating change; in embedding change; in blossoming change; in creating change; and in imprinting change within the lives of children. This kind of purpose brings about a legacy, which continues on within the life of another individual.
Frances Slocum staff, let’s take time to reflect upon our PURPOSE for why we do the things we do. REMEMBER THAT DAILY WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN. Having a defined sense of PURPOSE makes US legacy builders.
I am happy to serve among such a distinguished group of educators.
Teaching tip for the minute:
