January 12 - Have a great Holiday Weekend

 

The other team may have scored more points, but this crew won the game! 

Good luck as you prepare for the final week of the semester. I'm seeing some very challenging, engaging, and fun things going on in your classrooms. It's a difficult (behaviors are, well, fluctuating), but also exciting time to be in school. Thank you for your thoughtful, creative, and committed work with our students. 

                          -------------------------------------

Thank you to those who have shared your ideas....If you've thought about sending something to me, but have not done so yet ......below is a friendly reminder.....

I NEED Your HELP: 

 I am beginning to draft an introduction to the PA Family Communication for February. Can you please share with me any work you have done this year, or will be doing, that is related to Black History and/or Equity. Please indicate if you are doing anything specifically during February. Please share here

Quote of the Week: 

Enjoy your holiday & I hope you find ways to reflect on how important your work with students is in our collective effort to create an inclusive, welcoming, and kind school community/world.
Thank you.
