November. What...?
Can you believe it's almost the holidays? As the weather changes, the kids get frisky. And, so do the teachers, rightfully so.
Good things are happening at IMMS. Athletics, band concerts, clubs...so many things for our kids to get involved with.
Rigor in classrooms has stepped up. Benchmark testing is this week. I'm looking forward to seeing the scores. I want to see if suggestions I have made to teachers is paying off.
It's this time of year that we have to take, what I'll call, "attitude inventory." I feel like we still have good momentum on campus. Attitudes are positive with teachers. I don't hear discouragement.
I'm very conscious of my attitude as well. The administrative team supports each other. We are a team; we listen to each other; we have to take care of each other.
As the holiday season creeps in swiftly, and long hours at work consume us, let's remember why we are here...why we became educators...why we are so committed to the cause.
We are here to contribute. To make the world a better place.
