Wow, can you believe we’ve already wrapped up the first week of school? It feels like the week just blew by us. This week has been full of fresh beginnings, laughter, and the wonderful energy that accompanies a new year. I loved seeing the joy in our students' faces and witnessing the amazing work each of you has put into making the start of this year fantastic. As we celebrate the end of our first week, I must confess, there’s another excitement that’s been capturing my attention—Paris 2024! Yes, the Olympics are ending this weekend and I am a bit sad about it. I’ve been absolutely enchanted by the coverage, like I will be again when the Winter Olympics start in 2 years. The blend of athletic prowess, national pride, and the sheer spectacle of it all has been a delightful distraction. Isn’t it fascinating to watch athletes from around the globe compete with such dedication? There’s something incredibly uplifting about their stories of hard work and perseverance. Plus, the Parisian backdrop adds a touch of charm and elegance that makes the whole event feel like a grand celebration. The whole thing is a reminder of how special our world is. Though the Olympics have given us much to celebrate, let us not forget the small victories we have achieved this week. Yes the big victories may happen that make us want to pump our fist or high five the air, but it is the small victories that really make our day: students walking into class silently, becoming quiet the first time you ask, and maybe just doing what they are supposed to do without redirection. For a teacher, those are the gold medals. Carrying on into next week, let us continue to inspire our students and support one another with the same spirit we’ve seen in our Olympic team athletes. Here’s to a fantastic start to the school year. Wishing you all a relaxing and joyful weekend. (cue Jason Mraz - Have It All)
Until next time...
