WMS Weekly Bulletin
October 8-13, 2018
We used a lot of emotional capacity today with safety training and ProEthica discussions. Thank you for giving your all to make our campus better for us and our scholars.
It is an incredible feeling to be surrounded by people who are so dedicated to what they do and how they handle themselves day in and day out even when it is scratchy.
Today, I was reminded of the metaphor of a growing lobster. Take two minutes to watch the video to learn how a lobster grows and thus understand the metaphor.
We learn when we are put in uncomfortable situations and have to create new levels of comfort to keep pushing ourselves to excel in places we didn't know we could. New safety protocols are uncomfortable. Talking about ethics with colleagues is uncomfortable. We are in a new place at the end of this day compared to where we were when we started, and it's because each of you took the time to develop yourself and your colleagues to make excellence happen.
Let's have a great week!
Go Warhawks! And, remember, you belong here.

Week in Review
Pep Rally Tuesday
Our seating arrangements will be a little different than the first pep rally because our Warhawk Band will be performing for us out on the floor! Be looking for an email from Coach Corbitt with details.
Wear your black and gold! And, show the Warhawk spirit during the pep rally (our scholars will get into it if they see their favorite educators getting into it!)
