Panther Post
October 23rd - October 28th
Hello Lopez Families,
We had a great Pantherama and fall dance. I want to thank our PTA, parent volunteers and Student Council for putting these events on for our kids. A ton of work and long hours went in to make it successful and the kids really seemed to enjoy it.
Here is a link our counseling department would like to share with the parents. From time to time they will share parenting tips from Love and Logic. I hope you enjoy it.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Wernli

Leader In Me
Habit 3 - Put First Things First means to decide what is most important and to take care of that first. Thinking about what needs to be done tomorrow or by the end of the week can be overwhelming, especially for teens. Teens are busier today and working harder than ever. Between school, extracurricular activities, teams, clubs it seems they barely have time to sleep. Habit 3, PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST, can help. It’s all about learning to prioritize and manage your time so that your firsts things come first, not last. It is important to put the most essential things first and to schedule your time wisely. Evaluate the importance of each activity in the context of your goals,and give time to the important while eliminating distractions whenever possible ( ie, cell phones, gaming etc) . The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage OURSELVES.
Use your Lopez planner or a sheet of paper, google calendar, notes on your phone, physically write out the things that need to be done for the day and week.
