Thank you cards
Don't forget to drop them off Wednesday morning in the staff lounge when you grab coffee and a treat before heading to your focus group meetings.
Question of the Week
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Question of the Week ("I am most grateful for ..."). Overwhelmingly, most of the responses focused on family, including "Seco family." Other responses included health, happiness, friends, and peace of mind. I also liked "time off from grading" and "students who are willing and eager to help out in the classroom!" We have two winners this week. They are .... JON NEZ and JOANNE CHASE! Stop by the office to receive your prizes. Thank you to everyone who participated. Look for the next QOW in next week's Conquistador Corner.
