President’s Message
Take time out for a little fun and self-congratulation. You deserve it!
Just looking at the calendar, I see that the end of the school year is fast approaching. It is almost spring and the season of end of year activities is upon us. The last two months of a school year are the busiest of the entire calendar. I hope each of us will take the time to reflect on why we decided to be educators. I also think it is time to celebrate. Celebrate ourselves, our students, and our chapter. Life should be filled with joyful moments.
Life gets busy for most of us as we juggle responsibilities and spend much of our time nurturing others. But as we heard our speaker from the National Alliance of Mental Health remind us at the March meeting, we need to take care of our mental health as well as our physical health. So, we all deserve to be acknowledged, appreciated and celebrated. Spring seems like the appropriate time to celebrate who we are, to honor ourselves for our efforts and triumphs, and to praise our resilience even during the hardest of times. The April meeting is all about celebrating our members. The 90th Celebration of Founder’s Day on May 4th will remind us of our Society’s vision and mission. We will also have the honor of celebrating our chapter’s “Outstanding Educator Award” recipient. I hope to see you there!
I was inspired recently as I read the newsletter of Janet McClaskey, the current DKG president in Colorado. I am including her reminder for us all to reflect on our founders’ vision and celebrate yourself.
With joy!

- Our flower is the red rose, a beautiful creation from nature that reflects beauty of mind and spirit. I love how Annie Webb Blanton saw a rose as the embodiment of "beauty of mind and spirit." Give yourself a little praise for a moment, celebrating the beauty of your mind. Think about the miracle a mind is--that we can think at all. Take another moment to celebrate the beauty of your spirit. The spirit is the life force within us, the force that guides us, and the very nature of an educator is that she gives and loves her students. Consider ways your mind and spirit have enriched your classroom, your school, your life, and our Chapter.
With joy!
