News You Can Use!
Thank you to those staff members who attended Monday's PTO meeting...Danielle, Vivian, Rebecca, Lindsey Moyer, Karen Kreck, Gigi and Steph H.
As many of you may know, Kathy Trovarelli has been on leave as her husband Joe deals with a serious illness. We are holding a staff jeans day on Thursday for Kathy and her family to help defray some travel costs to and from Philadelphia. Thank you for your support, and please keep the Trovarelli family in your thoughts.
I and RS: A reminder that March is the LAST MONTH for new referrals. New referrals are not accepted after April 1st, since there is not enough time to evaluate interventions. If you have a student to refer, please do so now.
Please remember the Nurse's Office is closed from 1:50-2:50. Please send any students that need a nurse visit to the Main Office during this time.

Words of Wisdom
You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.
~ Amelia Earhart
Life is a series of constant choices, some more difficult than others. The important thing to remember is that life doesn’t have to be a race, a process of quickly marking off items on a list. It can be a stroll. You can stop at times, enjoy the view, reevaluate, and choose again. Young people tend to make swift choices, without regard for the consequences. We can teach them that the choices they make can change their lives and circumstances for the better, and that slowing down to make a well thought out decision can be a reward in and of itself.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Have confidence that you will make the right choice and enjoy the ride. Before letting fear take over, keep in mind that it's ok to turn around or get on a different ride!
Happy Birthday!
