Spring Break
Our first day back after break is Monday, April 3 and it's a day 4.
Letter to MMS Staff
We are nearing our 7th month together. You’ve all worked so hard. It’s almost spring break to get a chance to reconnect with family, relax, travel, rest or take time for yourself.
As your principal it’s easy for me to say only three months to go, ‘Summer is right around the corner, thanks for everything you have done this year, so far, for the kids at MMS”. I think it’s important I let you know exactly how I am grateful.
- You work hard to get to know all the kids you spend your days with
- You have high expectations for all of our kids but understand that fair and equal are different things
- You have accepted me and a few ideas openly
- You have asked great questions to make me think about the things we do everyday
- You plan great lessons, mark day and night because you know that giving great feedback helps our kids grow and learn
- You spend after school hours and weekends with kids in performing arts or playing sports because relationships matter
- You teach, re-teach and then do it again because not everyone gets it the first time and sometimes, kids are away
- You push kids that need something extra and provide different ways for kids to explore, learn and have fun at school
- You learn new technology and use it to amplify learning opportunities
- You plan great field trips to extend learning and our kids’ view of the world
- You help colleagues on the good days and the not so good ones
- You supervise kids at lunch, breaks, before school and after school. Your presence is appreciated by the kids and help keep our school safe
- You are professionals
- You make your classrooms happy places
- You model the ideal that ‘Kindness Matters’
- You put kids first
I am grateful that you keep on doing all those things listed above (and more) even though it’s the time of year when it’s easy to be tired. You have every right to be tired. You’ve all worked hard. Especially hard because making the transition to a new principal can be difficult. I don’t take for granted how you have accepted me and ‘my way’ of doing things.
Thank you for all the things you do. I consider myself very lucky to a part of this great school and staff.
Have a great Spring Break.
Thank you,
Andy Mead
