The Smaller of Thanks
The smallest of thanks is always worth more than the effort it takes to give it.
~ Author unknown
Consider all the times you were grateful to someone. Did you let them know? A quick word of thanks can go a long way. It can make someone's day feel brighter, their job feels worthwhile, and their burdens feel lighter. Whether at school or out in the world, it's important to remember that all work is noble and worthy of our gratitude. So whether someone is serving you a hamburger or serving as a police officer, it's important to express gratitude. When we do that on campus, we serve as an example to our students who need to learn the importance of saying thank you to those who serve them.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who helps make this school outstanding! I may not get a chance to say it to you face to face but I want you to know that I am grateful for each of you and what you bring to this school. We have the most giving and loving faculty that I have ever been a part of and there is no book or program to make that happen because it comes from the heart! The hearts are big at BSE and I am so proud to be a part of a school that loves as much as this school does! Thank You! Cindy

Great Read that reinforces how I feel about extrinsic versus intrinsic rewards for behavior!
Daniel Pink has written a book entitled, "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us", take a moment to listen to his TED talk on the subject of rewards - it could be a game changer for some of you!
