Welcome to Thanksgiving week! In all the day-in, day-out busyness that is 21st century life, let's not forget to reflect on those things that matter - the things for which we are thankful. I know I'm certainly thankful to work in such a fine school surrounded by caring professionals who selflessly give their time, talents, and resources to our learners. I'm also thankful to be able to walk down the hall and see the smiling faces of our Bears each and every day. It's an awesome job and an awesome responsibility that none of us take likely.
So, what are you thankful for? And maybe more importantly, do you allow your thanks to give way to gratitude? And do you then turn that gratitude into motivation to give back, give more, be kinder, be more understanding, work harder, enjoy life more? It could go on and on, but the point is there - thankfulness should inspire us to be better, to be more reflective and appreciative, and to be more gracious with others.
Recap
Our FEAST went off splendidly last week. See the pics below. All had a great time! Special thanks to Candy and the entire cafeteria staff for all their hard work, and a big shout out to Mrs. Muhlbaier for planning and organizing the logistics of the event. Everything went off without a hitch, and most importantly, our students had a great time. Also, thanks to all the district administrators and law enforcement officers who joined us. Let's do it again...next year!
Our parent/teacher conferences are off to a good start. We have two more days - Monday and Tuesday (both 6-8 pm). Parents, while you are at school, please feel free to fill out a survey to let us know how we are doing. The surveys are computer-based, and they will be set up in the hall near the main office. Thank you!
