WMS Weekly Bulletin
October 14-20, 2018
Take some time for you this week. We know October is a notoriously tough month for educators. We have given our all for the last 60 days and your tank may be running a little low.
I borrowed this from A Teacher’s Best Friend:
“Refuel: Refueling is about rejuvenating our bodies, spirits, and minds. You may like to soak in the tub and listen to calming music. You may like to take time to chat with a friend on the phone. To determine what refuels you, answer this question on a piece of paper: When was the last time you felt happy, light, and energized? What were you doing or had just done? Write these ideas down on a piece of paper that can be your go-to for refueling activities.”
In addition to some upcoming surprises from your admin team, be encouraged to take care of your needs and know that you are valued for the person you are, the work you do, and the goodness you bring to our campus!
Let's have a great week!
Go Warhawks! And, remember, you belong here.
