McCowan Middle School
MISSION: Maximize Success
WEEK OF 4/8/2019
Principal's Message
What do you need to reset to cross the end of the year finish line strong?
At this stage in the year, it’s common to think, “Oh, it’s almost the end of the year. I should start thinking about next year’s goals and so I can get a jump start.”
While it’s not a bad plan to think ahead, don’t forget to finish this year strong.
8 weeks is a long time.
Will you finish strong? Have a seat or just do just enough? Stop just short of the finish line?
If you’ve already taken a seat (oh, so easy to do!), what can you do today to pick yourself back up?
If you’ve stopped short of the finish line, what will motivate you to take those last few steps?
If you’re still going strong, congratulations!
Remember, our students are counting on you!!!
