Lean In

  Turning back, giving in, looking the other way, and giving up at times can be so tempting. When things seem impossible and focus is difficult, taking the path of indifference can appear alluring. Exhaustion alone can be overwhelming. And then, as if by design, the choice presents itself. Turn away, or lean in. The decision to lean in represents hope. Embracing the moment, learning from failure, choosing to keep going, leaning in, is perhaps the single most important decision anyone can make. By doing so, focus and passion are sure to follow.
  Everyday at Holiday Park I see teachers and staff deciding to lean in. I am not even sure they are aware of it. Welcoming all children to school each day, staying patient in every situation, connecting to every student, believing in their best and never settling for anything less, is how our staff leans in everyday.  Day after day, from morning to early evening, choosing to stay the path for children is evident everywhere one looks. How lucky are the children and families of Holiday Park? 
  With grace and dignity, our staff dedicates their days, evenings, and often weekends to the students of our school. It is my wish for every child, at every school, everywhere, to experience a learning environment that is as safe and conducive to learning as the one at Holiday Park. Teachers, take the time to lean in, and if you ever need any support to make leaning in possible, reach out to the staff of Holiday Park. We are working on leaning in everyday with you.
