Hi All, 

I hope that you had a great weekend. We are squeezing every last bit of summer out of our weekend. What a glorious gift that fall is! 

                                              .      . 

This past Friday was a wild day and I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone for supporting and stepping in to help out. Please remember that following through on rules, utilizing buddy classroom and prompting/recognizing positive behaviors are supportive to the entire system.   

Shoutouts

• To ALL for making picture day work. What a mess !?! You all did great. 
• Knowing we were short staffed, when her student went home sick, Michelle Meacham sought me out (Betsy) to see how she could help out.  Thanks Michelle for stepping up.  It really helps
• Huge thank you to Chuck and Lucia who have worked extra during this week that we've been short staffed 
• Thanks to Amber and Tyler to finding the positive and tapping in/out when needed.
