Greetings Journal Readers.

With just a quick glance outside today we can all begin to see signs of beautiful fall weather upon us. Cooler temps and changing daylight patterns signal the end of summer and the start of yet another cycle of life.

I hope you will enjoy reading our feature story on Margaret Hyatt this month. She is the Principal of the Year for our state. I also hope you will take some time after you finish the Journal to look around on the NC Public Schools websites. There are many sites and agencies within this department that will offer the reader a great deal of information on our state's educational system, both public and private as well. In addition, I'd like to ask that you, your neighborhood, church groups, or other civic groups you might belong to, to help support those schools who have certain needs. There are always opportunities to help out our schools, even if it's a donation of a small bag of markers, paper, classroom supplies or other materials on the school's wish list. Our schools need our support.

I also would like to call your attention to another article in this month's issue of the Journal. It's by Dr. Ellen Greaves and discusses the growing teacher shortage in our state. I'm sure you may have heard bits and pieces on this in the media.

Margaret Hyatt, congratulations on winning the 2005-2006 North Carolina Principal of the Year Award and I personally thank you for your commitment to education profession.
