LRMS: Week at a Glance
March 7 - 11, 2016
Sayings from Sarah
Dear Radloff Raiders ---
How exciting it is to see sunshine! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and are looking forward to a full 4-day week, followed by a restful day off on Friday!!! I know that everyone needs it --- AND deserves it!!!! You all have worked tremendously hard all winter, keeping your noses to the grindstone and trying to help our students do the same. I look forward to seeing the "fruits of your labor" when students take the interims this week and next! I certainly hope they will do each of you proud --- as I know how much you have invested in them!! NOW -- if they will only show up, ready to "bring it!"
Spring Break is just around the corner, and there is still much to go under the bridge -- but together, I know we will get there, and we will help our students (who are finally beginning to settle in as Radloff Raiders) get to where they need to be.
Thank you for EVERYTHING that you do -- day in and day out --- you all are a force with which to be reckoned!!!! I'm honored to be here in this journey alongside of each of you!!
Sarah
