Cougar "Prints"
Week of May 6
"Last 5:00 Minutes of the Game/Season"
For us, we have been preparing all along for the last "5:00 minutes" of this "game". I would like for you to think about what you are doing, have been doing, or will change to do to make the last "5 minutes" of this "game/season" to "leave it all on the floor". And, as we approach the end of our "season" this will undoubtedly be an epic win for us all - most important of which, our students!
At the staff meeting on Wednesday next week, we are going to partner with others throughout campus to discuss our individual strategies on how we are going "close out the game and finish strong" so to speak.
