Time sure flies when you're having fun! I cannot believe that it is already Mid-quarter. It seems like just yesterday w,e were starting the year off. In this short time, I have come to love this school and community. All our students, teachers, and staff make this a fantastic place to work and call home. I know as the year progresses, we can lose sight of what matters or lose our way. I encourage each of you to take a moment, breathe deep and find time to connect and build meaningful relationships with your student and colleagues.
This past week I was speaking with a community member about a few things, and they brought up that one of the reasons they have stayed in Sheldon is because of the school. They talked about the teachers and staff members who have positively impacted their lives and know their kids feel the same. We may not see the positive every day, but the reality is we have a rare opportunity to truly impact the lives of our students in a positive way.
This past week our students had the opportunity to attend several extracurricular activities and events. FFA, volleyball, football, and cross country all had events or trips. I know our students enjoy these activities, and I encourage you to come out and support them whenever possible. If you cannot make it out, I would encourage you to discuss the events with your students as a meaningful way to connect with them.
Lastly, I want to thank all of you for the work you do every day. We have had a few PD opportunities recently and have some coming up on October 3rd. I encourage you to look for ways to grow professionally. If there is a PD opportunity you wish to attend, please talk to me so I can try and help you make that opportunity a reality.
