Today, October 27, is National Mentoring Day! 🎉 51������ would like to offer a well-deserved thank you to the amazing 230 51������ trained mentors! These mentors offer their support, guidance, friendship, expertise to over 125 new and newly assigned school leaders every year. 51������-trained mentors are truly “friends of 51������” as they deeply understand and are committed to impacting the effects of the principal churn rate in the state of Washington.

Through the magic of "Twitterverse", I stumbled across this blog post by Chris Lehman from a number of years ago. It is a letter to all young teachers thinking about leaving the profession. As I read the letter, I couldn't help but think what it would read like if I removed the word "teacher" and instead used "school leader". Applicable? Yes. Moving? Yes. Great read? Heck yes!
