Weekend PSA
Reminder for all of us: the school year is a marathon, not a sprint.
Put work aside, even for a few hours, and be present where it matters.
Balance isn’t a luxury—it’s how we lead well & live well.

First session of the day. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
What fills your cup? What empty’s your cup?
Thank you @HeyDrDaniel for your intentional strategies.

"Life rewards action, not intelligence.

Many brilliant people talk themselves out of getting started, and being smart doesn't help very much without the courage to act.

You can't win if you're not in the game."

A great school culture starts with relationships and trust and is the foundation for everything else. If you don’t have this, nothing else matters. #BeTheLeaderYouDeserve

I haven’t clicked on every single link to make sure they work (but the ones I have, do!) and I don’t know every single routine (but most I do and love!) thereby making this an amazing resource!! Bookmark now!

30 days of gratitude… who’s in!!

Found this number talk idea when cleaning files. Write one of these on the board: 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less, 100 more, 100 less. Give a number like 39, 399, 3999. Ask student to figure new number.
