What a Day It Was Yesterday!
At the very end of the Annual GLSC Conference—where I had the honor of announcing the winners of the 2nd GLSC Reading Contest in the morning and leading a workshop on my theater-based approach to practicing reading aloud—I received the surprise of a lifetime:
I am deeply humbled and want to thank the Rella’s Spielhaus families who nominated me, as well as the GLSC Board for confirming me, from the bottom of my heart.
Many of us dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to serving the families and communities around us. We know that the work we do enriches not only the lives of those we serve but also our own, and we deeply understand the value of quality early childhood education.
Receiving recognition for this work yesterday was an incredibly moving moment for me, and I am profoundly grateful. At the same time, I am keenly aware of the women and men who do our work in much more difficult circumstances.
With that in mind, I want to share this recognition with all of you who contribute so much to this field every day. Your dedication and hard work are the foundation of something truly extraordinary.
With gratitude,
Barbara Rellstab
