EARLY COLLEGE CAMPUS
ECC Staff
AMID COVID-19, ECCAULTY & STAFF DESERVE A SPECIAL MEASURE OF THANKS!
THE FACULTY & STAFF OF EARLY COLLEGE CAMPUS HAVE DEMONSTRATED REPEATEDLY THEIR
COMMITMENT TO THE CHILDREN IN OUR CLASSROOMS. OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF
HAVE DEMONSTRATED REPEATEDLY AMID TURMOIL, NATURAL DISASTERS, HUMAN
TRAGEDIES AND ORDINARY LIFE THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE CHILDREN AT VALLEY VIEW
EARLY COLLEGE CAMPUS.
THE DESIRE THEY POSSESS TO ELEVATE THE LIVES OF STUDENTS IS NOT SOMETHING
LEARNED IN COLLEGE. NO MANUAL THEY RECEIVE INSISTS THAT THEY LAY DOWN THEIR LIFE
FOR CHILDREN DURING TIMES OF TRIAL. THERE IS NO RULEBOOK ON HOW TO INTERACT
WITH KIDS DURING THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO GUIDEBOOK ON
HOW TO TEACH DURING A PANDEMIC.
YET, AS SUMMER FADES TO AUTUMN, AND AS WE NAVIGATE WILDLY DIFFICULT
CIRCUMSTANCES, I AM CONFIDENT THAT FACULTY & STAFF OF ECC HAS SERVED NOBLY IN
THE PAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE, INSTRUCTIVE AND INVALUABLE DURING THESE
TIMES.
EVEN IN THIS SEASON OF ANXIETY AND DARKNESS, LIKE A BRILLIANT CANDLE, THE
GREAT FACULTY & STAFF AT EARLY COLLEGE CAMPUS HAVE CHOSEN TO CONSUME
THEMSELVES TO LIGHT THE WAY FOR OTHERS. THAT LIGHT SOMETIMES GLIMMERS IN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS. MOREOVER, THIS YEAR, IT SPARKLES VIBRANTLY THROUGH A
COMPUTER SCREEN.
BE ASSURED THAT THE LIGHT WILL SHINE, WE WILL WORK THROUGH THIS TOGETHER AND
THE BEST DAYS REMAIN AHEAD!
