Huge shout out to the random librarian I stole the idea of cutting up Dollar Tree bulletin board borders into bookmarks. I finally found some not baby-ish ones and my middle schoolers loooveee them. You can get 36 bookmarks for $1.25.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to this amazing group of people!!! They make sure that our school day runs smoothly, every single day!! Thank you!!!! โค๏ธ @SouthOliveTiger
In toxic cultures, you have to burn out to earn a break. Time off is how you recover.
In decent cultures, you take a break when you're low on gas. Time off is how you refuel.
In healthy cultures, you're expected to take regular breaks. Time off is encouraged to sustain energy.
