WEEKLY STAFF BULLETIN
November 25-29
WEEKLY STAFF BULLETIN
Good morning,
This is the time of year to take a moment and reflect on what we are thankful for. I have enjoyed reading the Gratitude Challenge postings from those who have taken on the challenge.
I would like to take a moment to express what I am thankful for:
I am thankful to work with a staff that feels like family.
I am thankful for working with a staff that cares deeply for students and their well being and about each other.
I am thankful for the time and energy you put forth to provide students with a great educational experience.
I am thankful to work in a school that is supportive of each other and the community.
I am thankful for the chance to work with kids every day. The moments of clarity and understanding, learning opportunities, teachable moments and seeing the progress emotionally and educationally make all of the hard work and effort worth it.
I am thankful for and appreciative of the educational support staff who make contributions to our students every day, offering positive words and guidance to make a difference with those students to meet their needs.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and are able to enjoy time with family and friends and get some well deserved rest.
Aim High and Dream Big!!
Trish
