Be Their Champion!

It is my great honor and privilege to serve as the Superintendent for the Frelinghuysen Township School District.  This year our district wide theme is "Be Their Champion", based on Rita Pierson's TED Talk entitled "Every Kid Needs A Champion". My goal as your Superintendent is to be a champion for our kids, our teachers, and the entire community! 

This will serve as my reminder to #BeTheirChampion

What do we mean by champion? If you look up the word you will find two definitions. For athletes, being a champion means:

1. 

a person who has defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition, especially in sports.

For myself and our school community, our definition of a champion is:

2. 

a person who fights for a cause on behalf of someone else.

As your Superintendent, I pledge to be a champion for the entire school community.  As educators, we have the great privilege and potential to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.  Let this be the year that we advocate for our kids and for each other.  As a school community, we look forward to working together to serve as a champion for all!  Let's "Be Their Champion" this year and ALWAYS! #MustangPride
