Today, I am grateful that I am in a position to try to teach this concept to so many young people. We Rise Together. What is happening around us and to us affects all of us. If someone is being targeted and hurt, we are all hurt. If someone is struggling to find food, we are all hungry. If the sick cannot afford proper and humane health services, we are all sick. What we do to one, we do to all. There is plenty to go around for all of us to have our needs met but the idea of hoarding and needing more and the scarcity mindset hurts all of us. We Rise Together. Our school community rises together when all students are respected, trusted and given opportunities to learn in creative and engaging ways. When all teachers are respected and given the freedom to engage in the art and science of teaching. Our greater community rises together when everyone has access and eating healthy foods, a place to rest and relax, healthcare, ability to enjoy leisure. We Rise Together. I will continue to learn how I can present opportunities for all of us to learn about this and experience this because this is not the “majority” mindset and we are all hurting even if we feel we are in a good spot. We Rise Together!
