Words - Purveyors of Hope

                Consider words, those we speak to our students and those =
read in the books we teach. Do these words carry a message of hope? Do =
our words give students the confidence to rise above the difficulties =
life presents to them? Whether one is a man or a woman, a person of =
color, of a faith not ours, a level of income more or less than ours, a =
sexual persuasion that is different, challenged or brilliant, each of =
these differences can become obstacles between people. The words we =
choose to speak and teach must carry a message of hope that the problems =
encountered in life can be overcome. Because the world is difficult to =
navigate alone, we must work to encourage hopefulness in our students. =
Please submit your research, poems, stories, lessons, and artwork on the =
message of hope in the classroom.
