Staff Stuff
Seco Family,
It's almost June and we have just one week left of school! We're going to make it ....
Thank you all for your contributions to the Awards video. It was a lot of fun to see how creatively you recognized many of our outstanding students.
It was great to see many of you in the Zoom meeting this morning and a wonderful opportunity to recognize so many of our amazing staff members. For a recap, here is a link to the minutes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r6K-8_hf6gFFpRPr-fUqXnN_Hh6A5FXJ7i69Zm2EirU/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you Electives for the creative inspirations this week and thank you Rachael for the Weekly Wellness.
I look forward to seeing many of you on campus next week (from a safe social distance!).
Thank you for another great week and have a fantastic weekend.
Weekly Wellness
May’s habit of the month is “Celebrate and Appreciate” and the disposition is “Trust”
As the year comes to an end, remember endings are for celebration and appreciation, which lay the foundation for resilience in the days ahead. Wrapped into the act of celebration is the act of reflection; you look back at a journey, identifying peaks and valleys. You see yourself plodding along, the moments when sweat ran down your face and obscured your vision; you see the muscles in your calves strengthening. You remember thinking I don’t know if I can make it up this hill, and then you see that you did. You recall those moments of feeling triumphant and the process of recollection makes you stronger.
As you reflect on the year, you will see that after everything, you made it. Even if you thought you couldn’t or didn’t know how you would make it, you did it. You see the confluence of factors that played a role, the way others helped you, and you recognize what you did to make it. You can do hard things.
Trust the process-it always works. Celebration can cultivate a disposition of trust. Believing in something bigger and more powerful. Perhaps something bigger and more powerful is simply the passage of time; perhaps it’s something else.
“This Psychology Today article, Trusting the Process, is a great reminder of this: ‘Happiness isn’t in trying to achieve goals; it’s in knowing that the process, not the outcome, is what’s most important, and that process shouldn’t be rushed.’” -Janet Baird
