Count Your Blessings

Can you believe that we have completed 1/3 of the 2018-2019 school year?  😲Some days it feels like we have been in school for 100 days and then there are moments like right now that I feel that it has flown by. Maybe I have that feeling because I know we have only one fun filled PD day and then we're off for almost a week of fun and relaxation. 

I have FIVE QUICK things to share with you before the break...

1. If you have not completed and submitted needed artifacts for the October Missions you can do so up until November 22, 2018.

2. Tomorrow is a Mandatory Workday.  We will begin at 8 AM with TLaC Training in the Cafe and then begin A+ Training with some of wonderful A+ Fellows at 9 AM. Lunch break will be 11:30-12:30 and we will conclude by 3 PM.  Please dress comfortably so jeans are fine.

4. There will be a small token of appreciation and thankfulness in your box tomorrow.  Please check it after lunch or on your way out tomorrow.

5. Enjoy these few minutes of laughter to kick off this holiday season (video below).  Hope you don't have any 🐘 at your meal this Thursday!

Enjoy your Sunday and see you tomorrow at 8 AM!                                                   - Angela
