Tuesday MM - Day A

Good Morning!

Big events today so please adjust your flexibility settings.  Wouldn't that be nice if we could "pre-load" settings for our attitude as if we were adjusting a digital camera or smartphone?  Wait, we can do that with appropriate self-talk and reflective actions.  I know it is easier said than done, but we are capable of adjusting our frames by which we view the world.  Try it and it can become a tool to bring joy and happiness to your life and others. 

Wednesday we have a staff meeting for all teachers who serve students that have instructional accommodations for EC/504/LEP.  We will begin at 3:25 in the media center.

Wednesday is also UNITY DAY - Every Staff member is expected to wear Orange and encourage every student to follow suit.  We need to show our support for Bully Free schools and society.

Monday MM - Day F

Good Morning!

I am thrilled with the progress of the PTA Grounds Team.  Over 100 parents and students worked to beautify our campus under the direction of Elaine Byers.  Let's all do our part and demonstrate good stewardship of the building and grounds.

Big Day Tuesday with the Symphony at 9:00 for 4th  and 5th grade students, followed by an author visit in the afternoon from John Perry.  The lunch schedule will be adjusted and we may ask for certain classes to eat in their classrooms after 12:30.  I will have the schedule posted in the blog documents and on the microwaves in the cafe by 11:00 today.
