Green is my color

I am thinking about the color green and the fast approaching school year. I like green. Much of my home decorating is done in shades of green. Green is a color which symbolizes harmony and freshness. Green suggests stability, endurance and healing. It is said that green is the most restful color for the human eye and that it can even improve vision. Green represents safety and free passage along a road. So what is this green connection to school?

Well, I want my students to learn in an harmonious and peaceful environment. I want stability and healing to be part of their everyday lives. I want them to be rested, safe and free. Most of all, I want them to obtain a personal vision of how important their lives are...how valuable they are as individuals, how responsible they need to learn to be and how the world needs their positive and educated input. The future of our nation depends on it. Their future depends on it. Education cannot happen without this vision...no system, no district, no amount of money, no certification process and certainly no governmental policy can make this happen unless children grasp it for themselves. Simply put...this year I wish to "go green" at every level. Deo Volente...may it be a good year.
