Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
We have seen hard work and joy in our second week of remote learning.
Despite the new styles of learning together; students, teachers, parents, and administrators at Cairo American College have accomplished something BIG! Each has been stretched in ways that we would have never chosen nor could have predicted, and yet, here we are thriving—this is a growth mindset in action.
FROM THE WHO DIRECTOR GENERAL
“Yesterday I sent a tweet with a single word: humility. Some people asked me why. COVID-19 is reminding us how vulnerable we are, how connected we are and how dependent we are on each other.
In the eye of a storm like COVID, scientific and public health tools are essential, but so are humility and kindness. With solidarity, humility and assuming the best of each other, we can – and will – overcome this together.” –Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
After reading the quote, the last sentence resonated with me. I see humility as an asset for self-improvement. By living a humble life, we recognize the areas of our life that need work. Humility is also needed for our inner well-being.
Malcolm X said it best – When we replace the ‘I’ with a “We’, even the illness becomes wellness.
We can, and we will overcome this together.
I want you to join me in a virtual Principal Coffee Morning on Wednesday, April 8th. We will begin at 8:00 am and go until 9:00 am. You will need to follow this ZOOM link in order to join the meeting.
Here is a reminder to help you support your child at home – Distance Learning Tips.
Thank you for your continuous support of the middle school.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
Middle School Principal
