Praising educators across the state and NYSUT staff, NYSUT Second Vice President Ron Gross delivered remarks at the 52nd Representative Assembly. Calling educators “architects of opportunity, guardians of knowledge and champions of progress,” Gross talked about how he felt inspired meeting educators across the state over the past year.
“One of my favorite parts was connecting directly with the students and reminding me of just how great our profession is and will always be, Gross said. “What you do, day in and day out, gives us the inspiration that keeps NYSUT moving forward.”
“If we truly believe that the work we do is for all the right reasons, then we will always emerge victorious.”
Tying inspiration to how music can make us feel, he ended his speech with a performance by his daughter, Sarah.
