A note from Kris
Thank you for joining me as we blast off to success by making a difference in the lives of others. I hope that you will rejuvenate over the long weekend (and prepare for a Tuesday that acts like a Monday!)
I want to leave you with a quote to reflect on:
Success each day should be judged by the seeds sown, not the harvest reaped. - John Maxwell

Additional Important Information - Eagle Eye, Name Tags & Committees
If you have items to add to the Eagle Eye, please send to Leigh Ann.
If you still have your name tag that was used for the first week of staff development this school year, please return it to Leigh Ann.
If you have not signed up for a committee, please do so! Read, Deed, Run was not included on the original list (I really thought it was added, but still didn't see it), so if you are a member of Read, Deed, Run, or plan to be, please sign up on that committee! We will be verifying all committee groups and sending out the final list next week. Thanks for your patience with this.
