Mrs. Miller's Weekly Update
May 1 - May 7, 2023
Be A Light
In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Don't hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light
Yeah, it's hard to live in color, when you just see black and white
In a world full of hate, be a light
And it brings me back to the quote "If you want to give light to others you have to glow yourself." As a school leader, I realize it is important for me to be optimistic, hopeful, and enthusiastic myself so I can share that energy with staff and students. That's the wonderful thing about being part of a team. In addition to sharing our wisdom and knowledge with each other, we also share our passion and enthusiasm.
This time of year can be challenging in the school setting. Our kids are busy with sports and activities. Our staff members are aware of all that is yet to get accomplished and are working really hard. The end of the school year is in sight, and sometimes motivation and energy can be low.
I am reminded that as a principal, I need to focus on putting forth a positive and supportive energy. To do that, I need to have an attitude of gratitude and focus on all of the amazing and wonderful things taking place in our schools. I'm so proud of the work we are doing, and we will continue to focus on high expectations for learning while creating an environment of warmth and caring.
So, this week I am going to focus on finding the joy in the little things that we too often take for granted. And by doing so, I will find my glow so I can share my light with others!
Come support our staff and students!
