What's up Panthers!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. While I enjoy the time with my family, I miss seeing the students of Parkmead. Throwing the football with them at recess and walking through classrooms watching them learn is so therapeutic. It is definitely the best part of my job and I wouldn't trade it for any other profession (except for maybe a professional football player)!
As the cold weather rolls in, please remember that school attendance is vital for a child's education. Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. While illness happens, please make every attempt to schedule vacations, doctor's appointments and other appointments outside of school days/hours. A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn.
