Monday Memo Musings

Dr. Martin Brokenleg spoke at our PD on Friday. I wished you all could have heard him. We can take away something from most everyone we listen to, he spoke about connections. It is a focus for us this year, to connect to our kids. When we do, we know they are more productive, they move forward. They begin to feel successes. Everyone wants to feel valued and recognized. He says it everyone's job in our communities more our youth forward.  Yesterday, when walking, I heard some voices on the roof of a garage. When I looked over, it was several dual kids I know. I stopped and stared. They ran immediately which had me thinking... what are they up to.  I went behind the house where they were and waved to them. I now know who was there and can pass that info on to the home owner. It takes a village to raise a child, they need to know we care about what they are doing. We care enough to correct them, not punish them, but correct them.  We are so f...

Monday Memo Blog September 12th, 2016 I am just shaking. Can't keep my hands level, just shaking!! Why??? Because my body is not used to exercising! It has no idea what I am doing to it!  My muscles are screaming, enough of that. The feeling is uncomfortable, but necessary to achieve good health. In the long run, I will be better for it.   We can make this connection to our jobs; there are things we need to do that are uncomfortable, yet necessary. Such as making contact with kids. It has to be done, these two weeks are crucial. We need to keep them coming all year. In the long run, our efforts will be rewarded, students will move forward with their education.   Congratulations Precious from the High Level Learning Store gave birth to a humongous healthy baby boy on Tuesday. He was 10 pounds 6 ounces. Mom and dad and baby are doing really well.  Congratulations to High Level and La...
