As Thanksgiving approaches, I have taken some time to really refeclt and I realize that I am more grateful than ever for YOU and for our Sevier family. I know I do not say THANK YOU enough and I never ever want to take what happens at Sevier on a daily basis for granted.

MORNING YOGA
We have an awesome opportunity here at Sevier. VIDA yoga and the cOMmunity collective will be coming to our school on Friday mornings from 7:00 to 7:30 a.m. to do yoga in the small gym. It is open to all students and ALL STAFF. We are hoping this will help students as well as staff relax on Friday mornings. I encourage you to come and please encourage your students to do the same
Family University
Coffee Cart-Feel Good Friday
Feel Good Friday just keeps getting better! Stephen Baker had the awesome idea to start up a coffee cart for the Warrior Academy kiddos and the FA-3 kiddos to run together on Friday mornings. The cost will be $1.00 per cup, and we have creamers and sweeteners as well!
The funds will just replenish the cart from week to week, but the personal interaction and functional skills the kids are going to learn from this will be invaluable! I am looking forward to watching them grow throughout the year and build relationships with you all through this venture!
I have included the Google Sheet that we will use each week to fill orders. There is a cell for your name, classroom number for 1st period assignments, type of drink, and if you need a disposable cup, or if you'll have your own mug for us to make it in!
Thank you all in advance for your support of this fun idea, and to Baker for getting it all together. I love our big Warrior Tribe!
Thanks again!
Baker and Megan

There is always more amazing work than I send out (This 8th grade group especially had A LOT of really impressive ones)
