Glen Lake News for Staff
February 11-15, 2019
Cordelro Maddox - 5th grader - Wyoming Elementary
He asked the question: "What do I need?" from educators. He said:
1) I need to smile, and I need you to smile.
2) I need to know you care for me.
3) I need to have a relationship with you.
4) I need you to believe in me.
He talked about how he struggled early on in elementary school, and he was "that kid" who was in trouble and didn't try. He talked about some teachers and school staff who showed that they cared for him, even during times he struggled the most.
When it comes straight from a kids mouth, the message can be incredibly clear!
Out of the Building
Monday, February 11: 12:30 pm -4:00 pm - Elementary Principals Meeting - Alice Smith Elementary
NED Assembly
On Tuesday, Feb 12 we are hosting an assembly for all students, NED's Mindset Mission. This will be a fun, important message for our students to hear. Whenever I talk about mindset with students, I truly try to go deeper and past the "never give up." As you prepare students for this assembly with conversation and discussion, apply it varying situations and experiences in your life. Students are incredibly curious and interested in what we, as adults, say about ourselves.
