News You Can Use!
Thank you to Guidance & Karen Kreck for a great Family Math Night last week! Outstanding event with great attendance. We heard many positive compliments from families. Thanks to those teachers who helped run a math station: Jess Hyland, Lauren Valentine, Kathy Trovarelli, Danielle Burns, Ashley Thomas, Karen Kreck, Bill Hartman, Wendi O'Donnell, Danielle Weir, Elanine Hawk, Vivian Venditti, Maria Chance, Lisa Benedetto, Anita Bertonazzi, Karen Morvay. This event was paid for by a PRIDE grant.
We wish our "boss" Darlene well, as she is home recovering from an illness. Darlene's address is 623 Highland Ave, Vineland 08361.
We also wish Rosalie well as she will have surgery on Monday. She is recovering well from surgery and will hopefully be home shortly. Rosalie's address is 33 Emily Drive, Millville 08332.
Please welcome Christina Tassakis here as a long-term sub for Rosalie. Christina's email is ctassakis@vineland.org.
Also, we send positive thoughts to Kathy Trovarelli, who is home recovering from an injury. Heather Studstill will be here this week in place of Kathy. Kathy's address is 2364 Swan Dr. Vineland 08361
And a big welcome back to Cherie Gannon! We are happy to see you back as Mennies!
Please also welcome Adrienne Bender here as an intern in the Guidance Office for 300 hours.
Please remember the Nurse's Office is closed from 1:50-2:50. EMERGENCIES ONLY should be sent to the Main Office during this time. Please leave this in your substitute plans, also.
TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each of us can do astonishing things when we give ourselves the chance. Often our only obstacles are those naysayers, doubt and fear. If we didn't worry about what happened in the past, or what could possibly go wrong in the future, if we concentrated solely on doing what we knew deep down we had the ability to do, we could each make awe-inspiring accomplishments in our own unique and unrepeatable way. We owe it to ourselves to not waste another moment on the tiny inconsequential details of what we think we cannot do, but rather focus on the abilities that lie within us.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Don't let past failures stop you from making future achievements. You are capable of far more than your past or your worries about the future.
Happy Birthday!
