A Teacher For All Seasons
A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.
A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.
A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!
- Joanna Fuchs
"If there is any great secret of success in life, it lies in the ability to put yourself in the other person's place and to see things from his point of view - as well as your own." -Henry Ford

Hello everyone,
It is great to be back fulltime at school. Believe it or not, I missed all of you and our students while I was out with my neck issue. It is easy to take all the blessings in your life for granted when you are not able to enjoy them. Thank you to everyone for your care, support, cards and prayers. They worked and I look forward to supporting you well so that we can finish the year strongly. Have a great weekend.

Friday Update 1-15-10
Friday Update
January 15th, 2010
It was great to see all of you after finally getting back from the holiday break. I hope you all enjoyed some restful time with your families. Now that we are back, this is the time of the school year that moves so quickly. It is vital to keep ourselves as organized and well-planned as possible. Please do your best to check yourselves and your workgroups against our main school calendars to make sure that everything is listed for everyone. Before planning anything, make sure to check for conflicts. It is also important to force ourselves to look ahead while also working in the present. Thanks for all you do every day and enjoy our holiday celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
