Southwest Elementary School
Friday Update
November 27th, 2009
During the tough times that we have endured during this year, I have developed a greater appreciation of how fortunate I am to be a part of Southwest. While there are many things this year that have made it hard to stay focused on leading children to learn – you have done just that. I am extremely thankful to have the privilege to work with such a wonderful group of professionals who care deeply about the work that we do with children. Enjoy your families and take time to put school out of your minds for a few days during the Thanksgiving break.
The staff conference sign-up sheets are FINALLY outside my office door. During our “10 minute conferences” that I will have over the next few weeks, I would like to focus on ways that we can help you reach our struggling students. Thank you for all that you do every day.
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”-- W.T. Purkiser

As usual, if you would like to help, but are unable to shop, we will take monetary donations and do the shopping for you.
**This year the “Can-Do man” will give every student either a dog tag or a bracelet when they reach the 500 can mark. Please encourage each student to keep an individual record of their can donations.
