They were celebrating and enjoying Education Week, April 21-27. '*Education Week 1985 has as its theme "Educa- tion, It's You and I", a statement which embodies two of the most fundamen- tal concepts of learning: self-motivation and shar- ing. Learning is an intense- ly personal experience for which each of us must bear the ultimate individual responsibility. Teachers and educational support materials are resources which acquire their true values only when they are able to challenge open and inquiring minds. It is through personal understandings of and commitment to the learning process that each of us is able to gain the many benefits and satisfactions which education offers. The most effective educa- tional process is one in which both the teacher and the learner gain additional knowledge about themselves and the world around them. Participating in the pro- grams planed for Education Week will stimulate all of us to strive for effec- tiveness-and excellence in all of our learning ex- periences, not just during Education Week, but throughout the whole year."
