Summer has arrived!

I can say that it finally feels like summer has arrived. Weather like we are having is why we live in Minnesota and put up with the extremes of winter and spring. I hope everyone is out and enjoying the sun.

Another year has flown by...

As I sit in my office I can hear the voices of students enjoying the warmth of the summer sun and the anticipation of going to the beach on this 90 plus degree day. As another year wraps up the race is on to get the building ready for the upcoming school year. We have teachers retiring that need assistance with leaving, we have new teachers anxious to move in, and we have teachers changing rooms. Lots and lots of movement. I am trying to catch my breath after another great school year. I am so proud of what the students have achieved this school year and I am even prouder of the teachers and the effort they have displayed this year. I have challenged the students to continue with their reading over the summer, I challenged the teachers to learn something new and I have challenged myself to grow in multiple ways. Challenging ourselves is the fruit of life and instills a sense of purpose in us all. Enjoy your summer, rest, relax, sleep, and most importantly, be good to yourself. See you soon.
