Friday Staff Newsletter, Friday, October 18, 2019
Week 9
Teachers, continue working on the schedule for your parent conferences. Let's make this first round of conferences successful and productive!
Our Fall Festival is coming up soon! Make sure you and your team are ready with your game! It'll be a night full of fun!
Positive Thought from Jon Gordon: When Superman took off his Superman outfit who was he?
When I ask audiences this question most people say Clark Kent but the answer is, he was still Superman. It didn’t matter what clothes he was wearing. He was still Superman on the inside. His strength came not from the uniform he wore but from the power within.
The same goes for you and me.
Your power does not come from your job, uniform, career, status, circumstance, fame or label people give you. Your power comes from your heart, soul, spirit, passion and love that exists inside you and you are more powerful than you think.
Have a great weekend!

Morning Announcements 10/21-10/25
Education Building: Jackson
Student Building: Rodriguez
You are up for next week's morning announcements next week. Please have your students meet me at the front office of the student building on Monday, by 7:30, so I can go over instructions with them for the week. (If a student is normally a late arriver--which you might not know yet--please don't choose that student.). Also, you might want to send the script home today, so the students can practice. After Monday, students will report to the office where they do morning announcements at 7:45. Please choose students that are good readers and are full of positive energy! Thank you!
