McKinley Mindset- Staff Edition
Staff Weekly Updates 1/21/19
Mindset Monday
Happy MLK Day staff! This is a day for reflection and to remember why we work so hard each day. IB philosophy and the Learner Profile is an effective tool for teaching tolerance and reducing student bias. I hope that you all take time today to recognize your powerful position in the lives of students in all areas, but especially the impact of teaching tolerance and global-mindedness! You are all amazing educators!!

JUST RUN
I will have JUST RUN information available for students and parents this week. It will be Tues/Thurs starting in March. We will run in the school in the event of in-climate weather and outside if it's nice enough from 3:30-4:40.
If parents have questions please direct them to the Google Site (link below) or to Jen Polak at the office. If you are interested in helping out as a staff volunteer please sign up on the volunteer form (google form) Volunteers will get a FREE t-shirt and free race entry. Even if you are not a runner, this would be a great way to support your fitness goals and connect with students! You don't have to Just RUN, you can walk too! ;)
