Family Salute!

Dear Friends,
President Obama said something in his State of the Union Address that caused me to stand and applause (along with the legislators). To paraphrase, he told parents to take responsibility for children, hold education in high regard, and set high expectations.

I have learned both professionally as an educator, and personally as parent, that the most important influence toward a successful education is the attitudes and nurture at home. Other influences are also important, like work habits, ability, and quality of instruction. But nothing is as important as the love and nurture of parents.

So, I salute the families of Contra Costa Christian Schools!
Thanks for providing a home full of love and faith.
Thanks for partnering with teachers to provide the right environment for students to thrive!
Without your support, we the staff could not do our job. You are the key. Let me encourage you to strengthen your homes, grab hold of your faith, and make education a priority!
