Staff News Letter

I just wanted to express a special thanks to all those who donated to Sub For Santa and those of you who have been willing to help deliver gifts to your students.  I know it will be appreciated by the families who receive your help. 

It has been a wonderful first half of the school year.  Thank you so much for all of your hard work so far this year.  I am constantly impressed by what all of you are able to do in your classes.  Our students are fortunate to have you.

One item of business.  If grade level chairs would please be sure to put a copy of your PLC agenda in the binder located on the table in my office after each PLC.

Have a fantastic break!  You deserve to have 2 weeks of fun.

Thought:  I have always looked up to Lou Holtz who passed away a while ago.  I was impressed with one of the commentators who, while speaking of Lou Holtz after his death, said something to the effect that a reputation is what people think of you.  Character is who we really are….  He went on to indicate that Lou Holtz had true character.  Food for thought.

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season so far.  It has been wonderful to see how so many of you have creatively integrated the holiday season into your curriculum.  The kids are learning and don’t even know it.  May you all be substantially bless with patience as your students increase in their excitement for Christmas.  I though about installing “Santa Cams” at various locations of the building so they would be aware that Santa was watching, but I ran out of money to pay for them. 

Please remember that our Christmas Sing has been changed to Wednesday at 1:00.  Students need to be there as close to 1:00 as possible.  Also, just a reminder that we will not be having an AR assembly for the month of December. 

I wanted to pass on a special thanks to all those who have donated to our Christmas fund so far.  I know it will go to a worthwhile cause.  Any kind of a donation would be appreciated.

Have a wonderful pre-vacation week.

I hope you all had a wonderful week coming back off a nice Thanksgiving break. 

Once again, I would like to thank all of those who have developed a blog or web page.  They look wonderful.  I am amazed at how creative so many of you are.  Just to give you an idea of the number of hits to our school web site: Monday – 209 hits, Tuesday – 158 hits, Wednesday- 281 hits, 185 hits so far today (Thursday), and 7351 total visits.

If you have additional students who are in need for Christmas, please send me the names and so I can add them to my list of students so I have them available when I am approached for names.  Also, just a reminder that Sherri has the envelope for staff donations.

If you look at the event calendar and it seems that each event is showing one day earlier than it really is, you’re right.  Google has a problem with embedded calendars right now.  I hope it will be resolved shortly. 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
