We have made it to the middle of September and generally, that means more mild weather. We all hope that is the case because the heat has been relentless both literally and figuratively. If you are anything like me, the really hot days with higher than normal humidity just adds a bit more stress to the days. Cooler more mild temperatures may help to calm the nerves of everyone. This last week has certainly been a challenge from dealing with COVID, staff shortages, student fight clubs, and TikTok video challenges. It seems daily that our staff is put into reaction mode, frantically trying to respond to the next and most immediate challenge. During these times, it is important for us to remind each other that this too shall pass. I simply try to handle only what I can. Those things that are out of my control have to be cast away. I know better days are ahead and we will be better when they arrive. In the meantime, we need to take care of ourselves and not tear ourselves apart. We also need to understand that it takes both rain and sun to make a rainbow. Have a great weekend. Enjoy the weather...Go PUPS! (cue The Beatles, Let it Be)
Until next time...
