Mary’s Minute

“If you stay ready, you won’t have to get ready.”
           
When you find out that the Governor of the State of Indiana is going to visit your school three days after the opening day, there isn’t much time to get ready.  Sure, people sprang into action.  Jeremy and Chris made the place shine, Josh Craney and the Commodore Manufacturing team spruced up their facility, Commodore Manufacturing team leaders rehearsed their presentation, and Jody French meticulously worked through the details of the visit.  These adjustments were just icing on the cake.

The Governor and his team liked what they saw and were very complimentary of the work of Perry Central and our business partners, Jasper Engines and Waupaca Foundry.  Our students spoke eloquently about their student-run business that incorporates hands-on production, along with other important skills like, problem solving, safety and team work.  This work didn’t happen in three days.  Our students were ready; they didn’t have to get ready. 

Our students deserve to the best learning opportunities every single day.  We all deserve to live life to its fullest every day.  Don’t wait!  When we do the right things for the right reasons – both in our lives and in our jobs, we will be ready.  We never know the day the Governor is going to visit.  There may not be time to get ready; we need to be ready! 

                                                                Have a great week!
