In my final message to the graduating class, I remind our departing students that although the days may appear slow, the years go by fast. I am not certain who first coined the phrase, but a quick Google search attributes the saying to Gretchen Rubin, but there is also reference in a country song! Whatever the case may be the phrase certainly rings true, especially this year. With only three short days remaining it is hard to believe we are wrapping up the 2018-2019 school year! Like you, I wish it was a little bit warmer outside, but after the winter we had this is somewhat of a relief (provided it would just dry up and stop raining). You do remember that cold stretch we had in the middle to late January, right? It seems so long ago!
This will certainly be a school year to remember! Our students achieved great accomplishments and received accolades in numerous disciplines and activities. The learning that has occurred no doubt will serve them well in their future endeavors, whether that be as a first grader next year or as a college freshman.
For the most part, the formal work of teaching and learning comes to a close. Many of your will use this time to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries before we begin anew in August. By all means, please do so! You have most certainly earned it. However, I caution you to please not entirely disengage over the summer months. Take time to learn a new skill or read a book. Anything to make sure your skills stay sharp, because you will need them again real soon!
The central office will be open during the summer, Monday through Friday during normal business hours. If you are planning a trip to the school on Friday, you are urged to call ahead since I am typically the only one in the office that day.
