From the Principal's Desk Jan. 2010

Dear CES Parents,
This month I thought I would talk about motivation. At the half-way point of the school year people can become complacent and a little sluggish. The Minnesota cold will do that to you. Here are a few things to think about in regards to motivation.
Become your own cheering squad. Others can wish you luck and cheer for you, but only you can truly motivate yourself. You are the only one who can motivate yourself to get up each morning. Try to keep your thought positive and never be afraid to test your limits. Even when things may not be going your way, continue to find ways to stay inspired. Your mind can energize you, keep you focused, and provide you with the discipline you need to reach your goals. Your inner drive will give an extra push when you are feeling tired and encourage you to finish your toughest days. The mind and body need to work together. This balance does not come easy. You must first get to know yourself and make the proper adjustments in your lifestyle that will allow you to stay positive and focused.
I continue to enjoy my role as the principal of CentralElementary School and look forward to a great end of the year. In the weeks to come we will be doing Kindergarten Round-Up, making class lists, and preparing for summer school programs. If you have any questions or concerns my door is always open.
