Monday Msg - Happy New Year Edition
1.4.16
Back here in reality, It's hard to believe that we're almost at the end of the first semester. As usual, I've been doing some reflecting, and like last year I've jumped on the #oneword bandwagon. I wrote a blog post on the topic that I hope you'll check out. We've got some great things in store for the second half of this school year, and I can't wait to dive in with all of you. Happy New Year!
