El Dorado Monday Memo SPRING BREAK
April 6th, 2020
#ToroFamily
As we start Spring Break, I know many of us would rather be jetting off to the beach, mountains or to visit family and friends. And as much as that could bum me out and be disheartening, I find myself filled with hope, optimism and dare I say joy(?). Every day I have thought about this amazing team and the herculean task you all took on to completely revamp our entire industry. Who does that? Where else has that happened? It is truly amazing! I had to venture out yesterday (donning mask & gloves) for milk and TP and I took the opportunity of alone time to just drive around and it is so crazy how quickly our day to day experience has changed. Then I come home and settle in on my computer and I can see kids learning, students and teachers connecting and building relationships, creative content being shared, and lifelong learners being developed. I am very thankful for each and every one of you and all that you have done for our students, families, and community. I am thankful for the many ways you have come together even more and supported each other. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all of you.
I sent our business(y) email yesterday so I won't include much of that in here. Just check below for all of our resources we have been utilizing during the closure. Please check out and feel free to update our EDMS Staff Resource Page with any and all ideas and tools you have used. Have a wonderful Spring Break and enjoy this time with family! *(oh and if you haven't watched Tiger, watch Tiger King)
