Welcome to Townsend going global… Have you noticed that each
teacher has a GLOBAL VISION
STATEMENT posted on the door to the classroom? This statement tells
you exactly where your teacher will focus and what this teacher believ=
es
about the upcoming year. You have probably heard that Townsend is
developing an international focus this year and is working toward an
eventual partnership with Doolen Middle School through the formation o=
f an
International Academy. 2120 N. Beverly Tucson, Arizona 85712 232-7900 http://edweb.=
tusd.k12.az.us/townsend Take a moment to read that
vision statement as you enter the room. Look around the room: is that
statement posted somewhere? Has your teacher talked about his/her visi=
on
for your future and for your year as well as for your future as a citi=
zen
of our globe? Ask your teachers to talk about their plan for your succ=
ess
in their classrooms--this is their roadmap as they take you forward in=
to
the 21st century and school year 2009-2010. WELCOME

Unity Poem
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they finished it with care.
Were books and music and art;
One a parent with a guiding hand
And a gentle and loving heart.
With a touch that was deft and sure
While the parent labored by his side
And polished and smoothed it o'er.
They were proud of what they had wrought,
For the things they had molded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought
If he had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school
And behind the teacher, the home.
