Sometimes much easier said than done.

Something we can help ourselves with so we can help others.

Stumbled across this at an antique store today and was immediately time traveled back to my Senior Year of High School!

These CDs defined that year and formed my music passions to this day…34 years later!

Song lyrics can be motivational and great reminders of what we may need at a given time….. when we may not even recognize it.

So, Slow Down, Look in the REARVIEW MIRROR, and…..Get out of Your Own Way when need be.

There is absolutely NOTHING better than learning from our colleagues! Thank you Ms. Skorup for sharing your incredible knowledge of de-escalation strategies at our staff meeting this morning!

The first couple of days of a school year, especially at a new building, are filled with excitement, care, patience, and love! I’m thrilled to see those traits carry over every day!
