DEAR STUDENTS! Our theme for this year is, “Dream BIG!” It is our job, as educators, to help make sure that your dreams come true. What does it mean to dream big? Dreaming BIG means to have ambitious goals, even when they might seem hard, or out of reach. Dreaming BIG can help you to: • FIND DIRECTION: Dreams can help you choose a path and shape your choices. • BE MOTIVATED: BIG dreams can inspire you and give you purpose, especially in your career. • DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE: Dreaming BIG can help you discover your purpose and shape how you live your life. “Reach for the stars. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars!” I think this quote speaks to dreaming BIG and reaching new heights. WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS FOR YOUR FUTURE? Let us, in the schools, know about them and together, we can create a path to help you reach them! HERE’S TO DREAMING BIG IN 2025! As Always, Dr. Beck 2025 begins Let’s Talk Trash! news’ 10th year publishing a school resource focused on litter education, reading, encouraging good character, citizenship, and personal responsibility! If you would like to help sponsor this publication, call 615-746- 2443. u SEE STORY ON BACK COVER... • PUSH YOURSELF: BIG dreams can help you push yourself to achieve more. There is a quote that I love that is credited to Norman Vincent Peale.
