Thank you for a great first quarter! We have gotten off to a really great start--we've had an unexpected bit of information recently but we will rise to the challenge.
This week's blog is a simple THANK YOU for all of your hard work, dedication and effort. In the spirit of celebration, on Monday I will place a neon colored shape in each Bolton family member's mailbox and I would like for each of us to think of one Bolton family member or more if you like (more shapes will be available in the office on the counter) to write a small thank you note. We will display these on the board outside the cafeteria. I will place a basket in the office for you to place your notes. The note should just say who you are writing the thank you note to and why--very simple--one or two sentences will be great. Please do not use student names on these thank you notes. Please try to think beyond your grade level/team to others that may not know how thankful another Bolton family member is for them. Once you are done put your name on the back of the neon colored shape. After we take the board down the note will be given to the person. Please pass this information along to others on your team or grade level. Gratitude is powerful---despite the unexpected turn of events with new state information WE HAVE A LOT TO BE GRATEFUL FOR! LET'S CELEBRATE OUR COLLEAGUES!
In lieu of a Learning Showcase this week I wanted to share this 2 minute video with you:
You Make a Difference!
