Gratitude and Rest

With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us, I want to take a moment and express my gratitude and say thank you to all who make this building a school.  It takes each of us to impact the lives of our students and families.  I appreciate your strong attendance, willingness to accept additional students into your room, welcoming new students to the building, treating each other as professionals, and setting a high standard for teaching and learning with yourself and our students.  

Over this break, take time for you and do something you have been meaning to do and have put off.  It is crucial that we all regroup and refresh ourselves so that we are ready for students following the break.  Get some rest, you deserve the best and all great things start with peacefulness.

There is no faculty meeting this week, but take a few minutes to read and article, watch a video, have a conversation, read a book, or reorganize your thinking moving forward.  We must have a high standard for teaching and learning and I insist you prepare yourself to be great!

Have a productive two days and enjoy your Thanksgiving break.  I love you all.
