Monday Memo Musings

So it is that Spring has arrived. Soon many of us will have some well needed relaxation time. We are fortunate in our line of work to have intermittent breaks which allow us to keep well mentally. When you look at many people working in our communities  they do not have those wellness breaks. Many moms and dads have only two weeks off a year to spend with their kids/families. We can see how the stresses would mount. We can empathize with them feeling like they can't catch up. So, please use your time wisely and look after yourself, we owe it to those who do not have intermittent holidays to enjoy to the fullest. We will come back refreshed and are ready again to take on the role of the best educators we can be.  La Crete, Rainbow and Fort Vermilion Learning Stores have a holiday next week. High Level and Zama have holidays beginning April 9th.  Thank yous Thanks to all who sponsored people for the WE ARE SILENT campaign in High Level. Four participants raised $265.0

Today's happiness challenge asks you to calm the paperwork chaos. Do you really need to print it? Do you need that paper? Can it be filed out of sight? Calming the mind and getting to a place of mindfulness is a goal of many. I am throwing away little pieces of paper I really don't need and bringing orderliness to my desk.  Thanks to you Thanks to Bonnie and Holly who set up for a weekend of scrap booking at the Learning Store.
