Jeff McDaris kicks off his playlist for the 2024-25 school year. Here is the new link so you can take a listen this weekend. He adds five songs each week. “Feel free to apply any and all analogies, metaphors, allegories, and musings,” he says.
On the start of this school year and the playlist, he says:
Music…it is its own language. Welcome to the new school year!
Our year-round schools have already started. A growing number of systems start this week and next, with the rest to follow later in August. A significant number of our students have already started their school year. In our high schools, football, volleyball, soccer, band camps, cheerleading and a host of other activities already engage our local public school students. Dual enrollment classes and partnerships will begin before the last Monday in August as well.
We have great superintendents and each day brings hope with our young people and our NC educators.
And he concludes — as he is now known to do — with, “Breathe. Reflect. Dedicate.”
