Water Machine in the Lounge
In considering student safety, please do not send students to the lounge to prepare hot drinks or to get hot water. Students run the risk of burning themselves from improper handling and this is a risk we can't take. Many students have been burned already this year.

Positive Teams Connect and Communicate
Here are some of my take aways....
Positivity is the glue in the process of building a powerful team...You need to communicate, connect, commit, and care to create meaningful relationships, strong bonds, and team unity.
When there is a void in communication, we assume the worst and act accordingly. Negativity fills the void. we focus on our to-do list and how to survive rather than on our team and ways to thrive.
Regular meetings are important to fill the void through communication.
If you love your team, you won't give up on them. If you are committed to each other, you will fight for each other and not with each other.
You may not have the most talented people on your team, but if you are a connected team, you will outperform many of the talented teams that lack a close bond.
