“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says,
‘I’m possible!’” – Audrey Hepburn
Thinking back to how we started the 2020-2021 school year, things did
seem impossible. How can we effectively teach our students through a
computer screen? How will we read with each student? How can we build
relationships? These are the fears we faced back in August. Together, we have
overcome these challenges and are doing the impossible.
Even though this year started unlike any other, we’ve had a lot of great
things going on here at Pisgah. Several of our teachers, across all grade
levels, are continuing to persevere with distance learning. Not only do they
have full classrooms with students social distancing, they are also conducting
live ZOOMs for students who cannot attend in person.
We are doing everything we can to keep things as normal as possible.
We recently celebrated our “Dragons of the Quarter.” While we were unable
to have the large ceremony in the cafeteria, we did our best to make these
students feel special with mini celebrations inside each of their classrooms.
We also celebrated Mrs. Augusta Foust as our “Teacher of the Year.” She is
our sixth-grade math teacher and makes learning so much fun!
As the school year progresses, we will continue tackle all the obstacles
that come our way with growth-mindsets. GO DRAGONS! PISGAH STRONG!
