A Message from the Director...

Hello William D. Ford Career-Tech Parents and Students!

At this point in the school year. I hope each of you is in good spirits and eager to explore the incredible journey of learning and growth in Career Technical Education that continues to lie ahead. Today, I want to emphasize the profound impact that one person can have on another, and the ripple effect it can create.

Each of you possesses the ability to make a difference, not only in your own lives but in the lives of those around you. Small acts of kindness, a supportive word, or a helping hand can go a long way in brightening someone else's day. It's essential to recognize the significance of our individual actions and understand that we are all interconnected in this shared experience.

As we continue to move forward with academic and personal journeys, be sure to remember that words and deeds have the power to inspire, uplift, and motivate. A simple gesture of encouragement can be the catalyst for someone to overcome challenges and reach new heights. Never underestimate the powerful, positive influence one can exert on peers, friends, and even strangers.

In a world where society often focuses on grand gestures, it's crucial to recognize the value of the seemingly small contributions we make. Every smile, every word of support, and every act of kindness contributes to a collective environment of empathy and understanding. Together, we can create a community that thrives on compassion and mutual support.

So, as we continue on this academic adventure, keep in mind the incredible impact each of you can have on those around you. Be mindful of the energy you bring into a room and the potential you have to be a source of encouragement and inspiration. By recognizing the importance of what one person can do to help another, each of us contributes to the creation of a positive and empowering community.

Wishing you all a wonderful, well-deserved Thanksgiving break!

Sincerely,

Stephanie Bigelow M.A., L.P.C.
