It's Spring Break!

It's hard to believe that it's already Spring Break.  And then the week we get back will be the end of the 3rd quarter.  Holy smokes!  It's been an incredible year so far with its ups and downs and shoutouts and concerns. I hope that you can remember back to Wednesday's meeting and the 3-2-1 sheet I had you work on.  Did you finish it?  Did you share it with anyone?  It's not homework, but it might be something for you to think about doing while on a beach, in a car, or at your home over the next week, or not.  I don't want you to think that you have to do anything school related over break because you deserve time for yourself.  I hope that you are able to do something over break that brings you back focused on finishing the school year strong.

Less than 12 hours from now you will have a chance to put school away for a while.  As I mentioned on Wednesday morning, it's important to keep our students engaged all the way through the bell at 4:00.  If you aren't planned there's more of a chance that behaviors will make you look a bit like Mona Lisa above.  I'm heading to St. Louis and Nashville with Jen for the next few days and won't bother you unless something really major comes up.  I certainly hope that doesn't happen.  Let me know if I can be of any assistance today.  I'm here for you.

Happy Spring Break!
