St. Joseph Coast Guard Fundraiser
With part of our mission being to foster active and compassionate community members and recognize that other people matter, on Friday, for a minimum donation of $5 you have the opportunity to rock the denim. All funds donated will be provided to Ms. Goos' TEAM to then be distributed to Coast Guard families. Jenn has agreed to deliver any donations from LMS.
From Laura Goos:
Please consider giving the following items to the Coast Guard Families. Contact me here to arrange drop off and I will ensure they get to the Family Coordinator who is helping to distribute to the 30 Coast Guard families effected by the Government Shutdown. If the Government does not reopen by Friday, they won't get paid.

Principal Ponderings: Stress
As reality hits us in the face this week: returning to work, actual winter weather, personal life issues, take an inventory on how you've been reacting to stress and if you are allowing it to be debilitating or enhancing.
Administrative Items
- Lunch Duty: Keim, B., Keim, M., Porter
- SPOW: Art
- Late Start: Course/SPED
- P2: REMINDER: You now have access to the resource page at posproject.org As far as I know there weren't any issues accessing information. I'll continue to create the weekly template for each character strength and providing that to you before Tuesday's LT. I do enjoy seeing different items that have been created and posted in your rooms that have stemmed from P2.
- Lancer Leader tickets: Have you given out a Lancer Leader ticket this week? Think about someone who might need a positive pick me up or someone that needs affirmation of the awesomeness they display daily. One a day is the goal and I'll admit that it's harder than it sounds. Look for the good and do your best.
