Mitchem's Memo
1/13/19
Things I've Seen This Week
-Students giving their teacher a hug because they missed them
-Staff members offering to extend themselves beyond the normal work day to help a student
-A student put their arm around another student and say "It will be okay. Please don't cry."
-A teacher hold onto a student that was sick and escort him to the nurse
-A student tell me they were "nervously excited" to be back to school because they wanted break to end
-A new student crying in the nurse's office because he didn't want to go home sick
-Staff member(s) step up to support another staff member in a time of need
Some might as why I'm sharing all of this with you. Well, all of the things I listed above happen because this is the culture we've created in this building. Be Proud!
