“It Couldn’t Be Done”
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied that “maybe it couldn’t”, but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried?
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin on his face.
If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it. - Edgar Guest
I never allowed the words “I can’t” in my classroom as a teacher. I firmly believe that with positive thinking and common sense most task that are within our grasp to accomplish can and will be accomplished if we are willing to put in the effort.
The staff and students of Genoa-Kingston truly have that “can do” approach to learning and we want to continue to challenge our faculty and staff to be creative and look to the future when preparing our students for the next phase of education in their lives, regardless of what that challenge might be for them.
With school starting in a few weeks the challenges of 2011-2012 will be confronted with a can do approach and a continued sense of pride, dedication and a commitment to learning that our communities expect of Genoa-Kingston Schools.
Have a safe and peaceful rest of the summer and come back in August ready to challenge yourself and others to achieve beyond those expectations.
