Teachers of Bright Star.
We ask so much of you. To give your best every day, every hour. We ask you to care - sometimes more than students receive from their own parents. And we expect you to do what's best for our students as if they are your own. You are an exceptional group of individuals. We are so lucky to have you do this most important work for our youth. Please know you are appreciated, because without your talents and commitments, everything we are would not exist. Thank you. Mil gracias, Gamsahamnida!

Connecting with teachers is one of the most exciting parts of my job because you all have always expressed so much care and appreciation for each other along with your students. Teacher candidates have always expressed their excitement to join the Bright Star family due to the stories and reports shared by teachers and because of that generosity.. THANK YOU!

Thank you all for dedicating yourselves to such important work.  I know that in this profession the failures and missed opportunities often feel bigger than the wins but I hope that you can trust everyone on this padlet when they say the work you do is amazing and that it matters!  I hope that every day you're proud of the work you do. If not maybe read the Starfish Parable below.

There are times we have to accept that they way we can make the best - and probably most profound - change to help humanity, is just with one person (or starfish) at a time.

Sometimes I can feel upset that I seem unable to 'do more' to make a 'bigger difference', and that is when I re-read the parable about the starfish on the beach... and feel at peace.

Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean for exercise. One day, the old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one. Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. The young boy paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can't return to the sea by themselves," the boy replied. "When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water." The old man replied, "But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I'm afraid you won't really be able to make much of a difference." The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"
adapted from The Star Thrower, by Loren Eiseley (1907 - 1977)

Hi Teachers & Counselors! In my somewhat short time here at Bright Star Schools I have come to a big realization - This is my first time working in the education field and it has certainly given me much appreciation  not only for the work that guys are currently doing but also for all of the educators that I've had in my past. Thank you for doing what you do and know that your work certainly makes a difference in children's lives and they for sure will remember you for years to come!
