We're BACK!
Thank you for a great first week back. Lots of great memories from both the inservice and district PD. I enjoyed the many lessons from that week. I especially enjoyed watching us come together as a team and celebrate one another. The ELM Amazing Race was a ton of fun! We have a lot going on in the next two weeks that I want to make sure you are aware of... so, let's buckle up!
1. FAC is on Tuesday. Please let your representative know of any concerns or questions that you might have. Please refer to the share drive for the agenda.
2. There is another Middle School Showcase coming up in February. We are looking for presenters and attendees. We can only bring eight attendees. You will be paid one hour for attending the event at the PDC. It was a great learning experience last time around. If you are interested for either attending or presenting, let me know.
3. We are putting the final touches on the Eduabroad experience. You should be receiving notice shortly about our student delegates and what will be happening during the week we have our guests.
5. Safe School Ambassador training happens on Tuesday and Wednesday. I sent out a list last week with the students who will be training. Please be flexible with them.

Your Legacy
Mr. Tello
I thoroughly enjoyed our guest speaker and his message about supporting our youth. I took some notes on four essential questions that all students have when they enter a school:
1. Am I wanted here? Who am I connected to?
2. What is my purpose in life?
3. How will I get there?
4. Where do I go and to whom do I go to for guidance and support?
How do we want our students to answer these questions? I am proud of the work that we are doing at ELM to fulfill our sacred responsibility of making this is a place where students feel they are welcomed, have a purpose and are loved. Let's explore all the ways we can make it an even better experience for each other and our students!
