Unplug.
Put down your phone.
Be in the moment.
Reconnect.
Great things I saw this week...
Lots of learning going on (Note the quote from Mary in the Principals' presentation to the board.).
Lots of red and green on Monday.
Our surprise gathering for Colleen.
Great discussion at our BLT meeting.
I got an email from an 8th grade student after sending out a request to all of you to have students check in on me. The idea was from this blog from my friend Danny Steele. The email to parents was even better!
Did you see the ugly sweaters on Tuesday?
Thanks to Colleen for covering Homework Club on Tuesday.
The floral arrangement at Steve's funeral. Thank you!
The learning in classrooms on Thursday. Keep them engaged and our kids do amazing things!
There are three students who are consistently checking in on me after I shared Danny Steele's blog with you. The check ins inspired me to write this blog- Perfect Timing.

| T.S. Eliot, poet |
(from George Couros)
“You will always be too much of something for someone: Too BIG, too SOFT, too LOUD, too EDGY. If you round out all your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone, profusely, but never apologize for being who you are.”-Danielle Laporte
(from Bored Teachers)
| The talent works, the genius creates. |
| Robert Schumann, composer |
Square Pegs Don't Fit in Round Holes (from Allyson Apsey)
