Monday Memo
USC Elementary -- You Matter - Every Child - Every Day
Hello!!! Short version tonight - watching the game. ;-)
1. Please welcome Diane Dulas as our new special ed para. She is working in both Margo and Todd's room! We are very excited to have her as part of the USC team!!!
2. We are still looking for help 2 nights for Elementary concession stands. We will add the money to our fundraiser account to help pay for extra things such as lyceums, I Love To Read Month, Green Egg and Ham prizes......etc. Or I'm open to other thoughts for the money. :-)
We need approximately 3-4 people each night from about 4:30-9:00/ We can split it up each night so each person only needs to be there a couple of hours or you can stay the whole time. Our dates are Tuesday, Jan 23rd and Tuesday, Feb. 20. Please consider helping out and let me know if you are available. Thanks!

Monday Motivation - What You Do Today Can Improve Your Tomorrows
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. He then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many people loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. A peasant then came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant
laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. Every obstacle gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstances, and whilst the lazy complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity and willingness to get things done. Today is only here once. Use it while you have it. Make it count. Make it special for you and our students.
