East Elementary: Team East News
Staff Newsletter for 2016-2017, Episode 4
We are TEAM EAST!
Thank you all for a wonderful October! In our recent parent newsletter I spent some time summarizing the opportunities all of you have worked so hard to provide our students in the last month. It was a reminder of how dedicated you are as a team to providing experiences for our students that they will remember for a lifetime. Your dedication to them as individuals is inspiring and makes our work worthwhile.
The quote I chose this month is inspired by your service and the truth about the children and families we serve. The ones that break our hearts are the very ones that inspire us to give our all every single day. Earlier today I spent an extended amount of time with one of our "tough" little guys. I found myself determined to find a way to reach him and to soften the hardness in his eyes. While I had a million other things to do I spent a good deal of my day learning about beavers with him and watching him soften a little and enjoy learning. It was a reminder of what you all dedicate your lives to each and every day. We are grateful for you and your service to our students and families. Keep your smile and find your inspiration in your "tough" cases.
We love you all!
