What a
week!! I think we all (students included) are exhausted, but overall it
was a great first week of school. You folks have amazed me.
Everyone stepped up to help morning and afternoon dismissal run smoothly.
Classroom teachers were prepared on Monday morning to warmly welcome their
students. We have very little to complain about, but there is always room
to improve. If any of you have suggestions for improvement, I'm all ears.
Please email or drop a note in my box.
We have many shout outs on the board in the workroom. Swing by and see if someone has "thanked" you and remove your ticket. We will draw on Monday afternoon. This is taking off and I love that you take the time to acknowledge each other. Keep it up!
Reminders from the week:
- Sunshine Fund contributions are $20.00 for Full-time faculty/staff and $10.00 for Part-time faculty/staff. You can pay with cash or check (made payable to PGE.) See Ms. Cindy.
- From Reading Council representative, Sonya Robinson: I wanted to take a moment to encourage you to join the reading council as the committee has worked hard to put together some exciting programs this year. The cost for joining is $15. Once you join, your name will be added to the “Dream Team Board” assembled in the workroom/teacher’s lounge. Let’s work hard to build membership. We are always SO close to 100% participation. This year, let’s nail it! Go PGE TIGERS!!
- The first program is scheduled for September 27, 2016 at Newberry High School (time TBA). The speaker will be James Bryan with a session titled Literacy Tailgating: Let’s Kick-Off the Year Learning Together. Please see your NCRC flyers that have been placed in your boxes for detailed information and for other events this year.
- From Amy Milstead: If you are interested in ordering a school shirt to celebrate reading I am placing a sign-up sheet in the work room. It will be located above the sink along with a picture of the shirt. Please sign-up no later than Friday, August 25 if you are interested! Also please pass this on to assistants!
- The representative from Ident-a-kid will be here Wednesday morning. We will send directions for you on Monday.
If you
are not receiving email notifications of new blog posts, check your
clutter. That is where I found mine. If you move it back to you
inbox, you should then get the rest there.
The
video below was shared with me by three different people on Friday. It is
a great reminder how just how powerful our words and actions are every single
day.
I hope
you all enjoy your weekend and come back refreshed to tackle week 2. :)
