9/08/09 > Important Information RE: Obama's Address to school children on 9/8/09

Recently, a communication from the US Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, went out to schools across the country announcing a Presidential address to students that will take place on September 8th at 10 am (Mountain Time).  The invitation encouraged schools, teachers and students to watch the Presidential address through this live streaming event.  The purpose of this address as outlined by Secretary Duncan is to challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.  What sets this presidential speech apart from previous events is that the President is speaking directly to school-age students. 

We will not be showing this at school, but assume that the content will be rich and in alignment with district/school goals.  We, too, are working on teaching our students to have a rigorous work ethic, to take responsibility for their learning and their behavior, to set goals, and to reflect on the learning process.  We did not want you to miss the opportunity to record and view with your children, if you would choose to do so.
