Principal's Prose
Greetings Lions,
I hope that you were able to recharge and enjoy the beauty of this weekends' awesome weather! With the holiday and giving season upon us, I hope that you all are remembering to gift yourself with special moments with your families, students and colleagues as there is no present like the "present" to take advantage of today!
As educators and those who care for kids, it is EASY to forget about ourselves, as the focus is often on others. It's just how we are wired, as it comes with the "calling". With that said, we must remember just how valuable the gifts we give are to students are. Despite any circumstance, the gift and power of positivity, possibility and perspective remains ours, and what a gift that is to cherish and share! We possess the influence to convert our students' "I can't" to "I can", "I don't" to "I do" and fears into beliefs. Your work is special as you are truly a gift to students!
Counting Monday, we have 9 days remaining before the first ACPs is administered. The high expectations we have for students should set the stage for an exciting two weeks of putting the finishing touches on this semester's work. The gift of student success and accomplishment remains in our hands, so let's give it our best at giving it away!
As always, remember that teamwork still does make the dream work. Dream big, stay together and we WILL achieve the success which awaits!
"Unwrap" a wonderful week with students!
