Recently, I was in a meeting where someone made the amazing statement:

Good news is meant to be shared.

Such a simple, straightforward statement and I had never thought about it before. What do we want to do when we hear good news? We immediately want to tell someone. We want to share it.

So, here are just a few examples of all of the good news coming out of Montgomery County Public Schools during the month of September:

As we all know, learning doesn’t stop when you become an adult. I am constantly learning about new ideas and exploring new perspectives. I do this through books, articles and podcasts. Each blog, I will share a few of the most interesting ones with you. Some have made me ask questions, some have irritated me; others have made me smile or frown. I hope they make you think critically and open doors to new information and ideas.

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” — Michael Jordan
