Simply the Best

As the semester comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to offer a heartfelt ‘thank you’. Education is a not an easy profession, and we know genuine success comes only to those who have prepared for it.  Though we face challenges from time to time, or even trip-up along the road, we need to continue pressing forward accepting new challenges and overcoming the hurdles that may lay before us.  My hope is that all your dreams from last year become achievements in the coming year.  So thank you for everything you do for our students and for making a difference today and everyday to come.  Grab a blanket, a cup for hot chocolate, and have a restful weekend…Go Pups!

Finals Season

At the end of today, we will have only ten days remaining in the Fall semester.  The end of the semester is always very stressful for many reasons, but let us all work to not make it more than it is.  Students are stressed with finals looming.  Staff is stressed preparing for the final lessons, and additionally piled with family holiday concerns.  Take a moment to slow everything down and evaluate what is important.  Try to stay positive as we all know misery likes company.  Let us encourage each other as the season allows, because we are all trying to do the best we can for our students.  Enjoy the cold and have a fantastic weekend…Go Pups!
