We made it! Happy last school day of 2019. Thank you for all of your incredible work. Please know that I appreciate every single one of you and I wish you the happiest of holiday seasons with family and friends. In the frenzy, so not forget to take care of yourself. Everything does not have to be perfect and some of it doesn't even have to be done. For those who are travelling travel safely. Embrace listen to a podcast or a book on tape. Please prioritize yourself this break. You deserve it.

Taking Care of Each Other

Recently, our CIA team met and the message Ms. Zimmer's conveyed is one that is appropriate for all of us to remember.  This is such a busy time of the year (see events below).  We never know the load that others are carrying. Everyday our students and colleagues leave their personal lives to come here and put their best foot forward. We don't see the challenges that they may be facing in those personal lives.  Bearing this in mind,  we should always approach each other in a way that leaves them strengthened by our interactions. Let's make sure that we are always picking each other up, taking the time to listen and care for each other.
