A Note From The Superintendent's Desk - A Note From The Superintendent’s Desk


As educators one of our main goals is to teach all children how to read. Reading is essential to be successful in life. I want to share with you a few quotes regarding reading and education:

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
Sir Richard Steele, Irish Writer and Politician, 1672 – 1729

“I cannot live without books.”
Thomas Jefferson, Third U.S. President, 1743 – 1826

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.”
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss), American Author, 1904 – 1991

“We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.”
B.F. Skinner, American Behaviorist and Author, 1904 – 1990

“Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.”
Chinese Proverb

“Those who get lost on the way to school will never find their way through life.”
German Proverb

“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”
John Cotton Dana, American Librarian and Museum Director,
1856 – 1929

“Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English Poet, Literary Critic and
Philosopher, 1772 – 1834

The next time your child is bored and states that they have nothing to do, suggest reading. Read with them, read to them, read a story from the Internet, it doesn’t matter, Just Read!!!
