A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn. ~ Sir John Lubbock

A Note of ThanksMrs. Kulwicki copied this letter to me and I am putting it in this week’s blog. I don’t want to embarrass Ray, but I wanted to share an example of the type of thing that we all need to share with each other. Being an educator is hard and we get very little in the way of thanks. Nice job Ray!

Coach Sykes,

I want to thank-you for making the first part of Jake's Freshman year at Matanzas such a positive and wonderful experience.  You have given him confidence in himself that shows not only on a playing field, but in the classroom as well.  Transition to high school is often an uncomfortable feeling for students and because you took the time to meet and coach him over the summer, he began high school with the enthusiasm I did not know he had!  I only hope that he has the opportunity to be a part of your fabulous mentoring/coaching again in the future.  You have definitely been an inspiration to Jake, his father and me.

Have a wonderful rest of the year!Sincerely,Jill Kulwicki7th Grade ESE Inclusion Teacher
