Riverside County Supt. of Schools Dr. Judy White opened our special Keynote event for the 6th Annual PSUSD S3 (Standards, Strategies & Success) CONFERENCE themed "A Force in Education" with a special poem dedicated to PSUSD staff members and what they do for our students each and every day. Here's what she said:
"You are the Force in Education you see
AII educators in Palm Springs USD
The force begins with belief that you can
Guide positive trajectories of all students at hand
1 stand as your County Superintendents of Schools
To remind you of the power and of the tools
High expectations and strategies along with content
Are ingredients to help you with an excellent tint
Continue your journey follow the lead of the Lyon
Gird up and deliver and remember no crying
For it’s the mind and the heart that you first go all in
Then your skills and support follow helping students to win."
Thank you Dr. White for your encouraging words.
