Monday Memo
October 14, 2019~~~ A Newsletter for Teachers and Staff
Week 10:
"Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much!"
Hello Panthers!
This week's PLC will be very strategic concerning our plans for moving forward with several key instructional practices. I look forward to pulling together and setting in motion what I'm certain will be a successful year of growth. By rallying together we truly can do so much!
This Week:
Formals continue this week. Look for the next schedule to come out by email. If you receive the email, that means I would like you to sign up on this round.
October 25th! Mark your calendar! j
Just a reminder, I will need all hands on deck at our Fall Festival. This event is our biggest fundraiser and we need everyone's full support. It's one day and while it is required, I'm asking that you plan ahead and make a commitment to stay for the entirety of the event including the clean up. If you finish cleaning up your area, we need you to help others so that we can all finish and go home after the event. "Many hands make light work." More information will be forthcoming. Be sure to sign up and get with Mrs. Norman if you have questions. She is a great planner and the reason it is such a good fundraiser.
Let's have a great week Panthers!
