Phillips Friday Focus
November 17, 2017
We made it to our first long break!!
I know how hard we all work in this place, and I know that sometimes it seems like if one more weight is placed on us – we will break. But we will get through this challenging time together and all our students will benefit from our focused efforts.
I hope that each one of us can let go of some of that weight when we leave here today. I hope we can all be intentionally present and not be anxious during our time off.
My prayer is that you all get to look around a table with people you love to be with next Thursday and find time to rest and recharge during the break. I am so grateful to get to do what I do with you. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
School Board presenters last Monday! They made Phillips shine bright!
