Monday Memo Musings

Please take the time to vote today. Educate yourself , make a decision and vote. So cool that we have that right and that freedom to elect our own government. This is a right many people do not have.  Do you know your human rights? Here are just a few.  You have the right to life and to live in freedom and safety. Everyone has the right to be protected by law. We can all ask the law to help us if we are not treated fairly. Nobody should harm our good name. Nobody has the right to come into our home, open our letters, or bother us or our family without good reason.  We have the right to meet our friends and to work together in peace to defend our rights.Nobody can make us join a group if we don't want to.

There will be subs in for them on Friday.  Petra is out next Monday and Tu...

Go Jays!!! Jays go to game five! This team is determined to get to the World Series. They have this cool thing they do to communicate with each other. They use a signals  thumb and forefinger together and three fingers up. Focus on the prize!  For us, the prize is seeing our kids be successful. We can use the spray and pray theory ( talk and pray that the kids get it) or we can actually go into work each day with a purpose, today I am going to make contact with three kids and see where they are with their studies. I'm going to see if they need a hand. Many students won't ask for help, they just aren't that brave yet. Someone needs to teach them to be brave. We model bravery each day for these students.  Thanks to you Thanks to Julie for setting up the scrapbooking session this week in Fort. I will be there to assist her on the morning.  Thanks to Bonnie for setting up the Cosmic Painting session. That w...

Have you taken a moment to notice our morning skies. Our skies are extraordinary, unlike any other. Northern skies are bimulous, are ripe with color and allow us to say," I'm glad I live up north to be able to experience it's beauty and uniqueness." When attending this Outreach Conference it became apparent to me that our schools are unique, up north. Each learning Store has its own flair, its own uniqueness and is a reflection of the community and the staff. We want to embrace our uniqueness from all other schools in the province and  celebrate what we do well, build relationship with students. This weekend we made friends with colleagues from other schools and now have ideas to better our course offerings. We are smarter now. No one ever has become dumber learning something new. We learned to celebrate our uniqueness.  Thanks to all who attended. It was fun hanging with you, a great way to start the year. We did miss Eva, Holly and Jenine. It's not the same...
