Welcome Back
Welcome to April! I hope Spring Break treated everyone well. Whether you traveled, read, cleaned the house, slept in, or all of the above, its important to have time for yourself. As we head into the last 2 months of the school year, its so important that continue to be there for our students everyday, to the last day, of this school year. Personally, I don't believe in countdowns. Countdowns to breaks or end of the school year potentially send unintentional negative messages to our students that we are counting the days until our time with them is through. We want to make the most of every day with our students, showing them that it is privilege to be apart of their lives and education.
As we come back recharge and energized, remember how you feel today so that we are there for our students with the same energy weeks from now.
