Happy Friday.
As a reminder, we will be showing "Keep the Pressure" videos during SURFER on Monday. I will mention it briefly in my Monday Minute announcements that morning. Parents have been provided information and the opportunity to preview the video. Check my email for additional information and the link to the video if you'd like to rewatch it.
Thank you for another great week and have a fantastic weekend!

We are Conquistadors
Check out this video shared by Angela Welch: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zzZpMpfBaoWTVmV87
She closes her class each day with students repeating this "mantra."
"We Lead .... in kindness
We Lead .... in sportsmanship
We Lead .... in caring
We Are .... Conquistadors!"
It's even more fun and inspiring to witness it in person. Thank you for sharing, Angela!
Thanks a Thousand
Question of the Week
In response to last week's question, we had a variety of New Year's Resolutions, such as focusing on health, getting more exercise and eating properly. Some of us are focused on spending less money and more time with family, as well as staying on top of laundry, reading non-fiction, and practicing mindfulness. Instead of resolutions, some of us chose focus words like "Travel" and "Brave." Some of us procrastinators are targeting a February start.
Here are a couple of quotes:
"I am going to find more positive things to say to my students and their parents. Doing well so far."
"I am looking forward to the possibilities a new year presents."
"Slooooow down on the Starbucks."
The winner of this week's drawing is Amanda Stieff! Thank you to everyone who participated.
