Caraway Staff Weekly Update
October 23, 2017
It's been a great week!
First I want to say thank you for the notes of appreciation and affirmation that Melanie and I received. I had the opportunity to read each one over the weekend. You are truly a great staff to work with. I will be adding them to my "smile file."
Please welcome Sunnie Schuler back to Caraway. Sunnie will now be supporting the intervention team! Welcome Back Sunnie!
This is going to be a busy week for us. Remember that Wednesday is the Anti-Bullying presentation, "Hey Dude, Nice Shoes." Also, the K-2 author visit is also on Wednesday. I appreciate your flexibility as we worked to create a schedule that would allow both events to take place. See the schedule below.
Red Ribbon week starts on Monday, October 23rd. Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October across the United States. At Caraway we focus on having a healthy mind and body.
On Wednesday October 25th, we will celebrate the UNITY DAY: Together against bullying. United for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. On this day, we will wear ORANGE and make bullying and exclusion end.
*You can now send your work-order request directly to Grace Mims.
*All purchase requests should be given to Grace. This will prevent them from being lost in transition.
Have a great weekend.
