Happy Thanksgiving!

The short week comes at just the right time.  I need a chance to step away from school for a few days and focus on myself and my family.  Yes, that's the right order.  I encourage you to do the same.  After today, I'll only be sending out emails if there is something urgent.  If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to reach out.

(from Inspiring Quotes)

I may not tell you all enough, but I am grateful for you every day.  You come to school every day with the desire to do what is best for our kids and each other.  You are reflective.  You are inquisitive.  You are creative.  You are always in pursuit of finding a new way to reach your students or a student.  You are collaborative.  You are there for one another.  Thank you for all that you do for our kids and each other.  Happy Thanksgiving!
