Tickets will be drawn at each staff meeting for prizes.

First prize each month will be “make your own staff development day” Jen and John will be your substitute while you have TIME to create new lessons, learn new technology, participate in a webinar, observe your colleagues…… The possibilities are endless!

Did You Hear?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day: Remember that eating a wholesome, nutritious morning meal will probably save you time in the long run. By recharging the brain and body, you'll be more efficient in just about everything you do. Interestingly, studies show that kids who skip breakfast are tardy and absent from school more often than children who eat breakfast on a regular basis.
