4 more days...

Good morning staff!

I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend. I am attaching a link to a timely article entitled "When Students Are Traumatized, Teachers Are Too" by Emelina Minero.  A parent forwarded me the link and I thought of all of you who pour so much into our kids...especially the difficult to love.  Stay strong...we only have 4 school days left until a much needed break and we can handle anything for four days (even when a full moon is expected this Friday evening).

See everyone on Monday!
