Spread the good gossip!!!
Jon Gordon says, "Instead of sharing negative gossip, be the kind of communicator who spreads positive news about people." SOOOOO........What good news do you have to share about teammates and students? During these last few weeks, we could all use an extra dose of positive energy!!! Challenge: send out at least one Happy Gram --SHOUT OUT to a co-worker next week (via email or handwritten note). Not only will you make someone's day, but you will feel so great passing it along!!!!
Keep? Tweak? Toss?
We are already making plans for next year!! Crazy, right?
Be sure to submit your feedback for things we need to Keep, Tweak or Toss in the areas of: Communication, Celebrations, and School connection opportunities for students.
