Gratitude
Our school has been through significant change this year and we are still making preparations for changes for next year. I truly appreciate those who have made the effort to be flexible and understanding of what it takes to transition to the kind of school we are becoming. I really appreciate those who have made the effort to be flexible and understanding with a positive attitude. You are the best!
Before wrapping up this section on gratitude, I have to say a huge thank you to Jennifer Grace for her incredible vision of "Bobcats on Broadway" which was presented last week. This showcase could not have happened without so many others but her "EverReady" spirit and "Energizer Bunny" mentality made it happen! Her crew was outstanding in every way! Thanks to you all!
There are a lot of JEANS popping up all over the campus. Thanks for VOTING!!! As I mentioned earlier in the week, jeans does not mean t-shirt unless it's "Spirit Shirt Friday." Thanks for showing your professionalism everyday.
By the way, thanks goes out to the Goal Team Leaders who updated the CIP this month. Man, it makes a difference when you take part in the nitty gritty of the update.
Finally, I want to say how much I appreciate the folks who helped with Kindergarten Round-Up. It went very smoothly and it was all due to great planning as well as all of the support in the office, in the cafeteria, and our great kinder teachers. You are the greatest!
