It's Here, It's Real, and It's Not Nice
Please take precautions to keep yourself, and others, healthy. If your student is sick, please do not send to school until the doctor has cleared return. Student needs to be fever free, without medication, for 24 hours.
Something to Ponder: Students and Faculty may have compromised immune systems, or are care givers for those who do. Let's all walk away from this flu season.
Guess what day is special this week?
Underrated
What do you feel is underrated and why?:
Emily Hackett: The importance of community, belonging and empathy for healthy individuals and society.
Also, music. The power of music is underrated. Music is a story and rhythm of the heart and mind, it reminds us we are not alone, it shows us we are allowed to feel and think freely, and it speaks to us when words alone cannot.
Carmen Nemcek: "literally nothing is underrated to me. I get excited about just about anything." Carmen, you rock!
Karen Horak: Phones as a way of actually talking to someone else. Because very few people I know actually call people on their phones. They text.
Brian Cortes: The microwave...A singles most prized possession, Gummy bears: cause sometimes we all still need to be kids.
Donna Griffis: Kleenex with lotion. Your nose knows why.
