Friday Mid Morning Memo - Day "A"

Sorry for the delay.  I was unable to write last night as I attended the Harvest Moon festival @ Reynolda house.  Joe and I sat in the lawn and enjoyed a set of great music from local legend Jeffrey Dean Foster followed by Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops.  We ate amazing burgers from the Camel City Grill food truck and just relaxed!  I strongly encourage each of you to find space in your days to slow down and enjoy the moment.  As educators we choose to accept the responsibility heaped upon our shoulders.  We THRIVE as we make decisions and take action to better the lives of others.  So for that two hour stretch on the lawn at Reynolda house where my only job was to watch, listen and reflect, I was out of my element. Sometimes that is uncomfortable and I struggle to "relax."  Yesterday there was no struggle and that has refreshed my soul.

Enjoy the coffee, donuts and Day 19.  See you Monday as we begin Day "B" with a new fourth grade section.  The adjusted schedule is on the board and on the staff shared drive.  Each specialist has picked up additional classes and Mrs. Anderson had a slight adjustment in her schedule.  We will run with this plan until the 2nd quarter when I will make some wholesale changes to provide equity in common planning.

The weekend awaits - Will you "relax" and refresh your soul?
