Listening to Jaime Casap speak, the Chief Educational Officer at Google. Great quote from him, “We need to keep teaching problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, the ability to learn, and creativity. I hate it though when these are called “soft skills.” They are not soft skills, they are essential skills.”
On behalf of Sterling Public Schools, I want to thank all our Veterans for your bravery and sacrifice. You are truly heroes!
