Happy Monday - and Happy Solar Eclipse Day!
Although - I guess that really all depends upon your perspective.
Our perspective today could be that it's only the third day of school and there is this major event taking place that will cause crowds in the buildings, confusion among students, and traffic delays. We could view today's event as a hardship - something full of obstacles.
But that is not how we do things in Wentzville.
We have a very different perspective here.
Our perspective is one of joy! We see the beauty in the fact that we will have our students with us for this historical, scientific occasion, and we want to do all that we can to help them experience it to the very fullest! We recognize that we have staff members who deserve to experience this event just like our students, and so we make it possible for them to do so. We celebrate the opportunity we have been given instead of lamenting in the circumstances we are facing.
It's all about perspective!
We Were Made for Joy!
On Mondays we can choose to see the week as a gift of time that we can use to do all sorts of things! And on this particular Monday, we can choose to celebrate the opportunity to share a monumental experience, such as the solar eclipse, with those little (and big) darlings who who grace our hallways and classrooms!
It's how we choose to look at these (and similar) events that helps us live in joy.
And with the idea of perspective in mind, let's make this the BEST Monday of the week!
