Holy Mistletoe! Tomorrow is December!


Just For You

A Little Something

If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
~ Fred Rodgers

If you could physically see what you left behind after every encounter, what would it look like? Would you see light? goodwill? encouragement? Would you have left behind something beautiful or significant? In today's world many of our meetings are online. We leave behind a tangible digital trail. What does yours look like? What have you left behind? Have you forged a trail with dignity, self-respect, kindness, purpose? Your words and actions remain long after you depart. Leave something of yourself that others will remember fondly. Teach your students to do the same.

Remember To Take Care Of Yourself

Modeling is good practice at any age, not just as in modeling good behavior for others, but modeling yourself after those you hold in high esteem. 

Educational Excellence

Our core values for Educational Excellence state that: 
  • We believe learning is life-long
  • We believe in giving our best each day
  • We believe that all students can learn
  • We believe in setting high expectations for all
So... now it is time to reward our students for continuing to strive for excellence.  You, in turn, should feel proud of the work ethic and confidence you have instilled in each of them.
