Great Things!
We made it through week 2 of distance learning/teaching! I think it's fair to say we are all still learning and this thing is evolving every day.
It was wonderful to listen to the collaborating of content teams and our whole staff around what is best for our families and our students. Great ideas, and great attitudes! Love this about HGECC!
Our Parent Educators have gotten started on virtual home visits! These ladies are working hard to deliver their same quality visits through the screen!
Sandy Diaz is going to be on the Today show with Jenna Bush Hager!! She participated in a book study and is going to be on the 7:00 hour of an upcoming airing! Cool!
Flowers are starting to bloom around us and the grass is sure green! Trees are starting to bud too! Spring is here and it's beautiful!
Challenge/Focus: Shift our Perspective "OHHHHH Shift!"
Let's make a shift from Hurtful to Helpful. Notice the helpers, notice the good, pause and take a breath, find the helpful things going on around you. We got this!
Are you willing?
