THANKFUL…GRATEFUL…BLESSED

 

Dear ES Team,

Way to go! These past few days have been marathon ones– but so incredibly successful!  Our parents recognize and value the level of care and commitment our faculty and staff have for our students– and they appreciate the time, energy, and effort you put in to making the conference conversations both personal and constructive.   

When life gets overwhelming, we try to  practice what we preach — we try to exchange  our complaints for blessings, which changes our perspective immediately!  There is so much that we are grateful for in every corner of our school– here are just a few things (beyond the successful conference days) that  have helped us recalibrate this past week:  

• The beautiful artwork that is displayed throughout our division
• Faculty and staff who are willing to help cover classes and duties when we are in a pinch
• Listening to laughter in the Dragon’s Den
• Proud students presenting what they have learned to their teachers, parents, staff members, and buddies
• Collaborative and collegial professional interactions
• Amazing administrative assistants who are capable of responding to needs on a dime
• Comfort being honest with each
• Warmly welcoming visitors with joy and grace

We are  continually  impressed by the energy, enthusiasm, and level of dedication our  faculty and staff demonstrate every day– thank you!! 

Our Fall break is a well-deserved one—and we hope everyone is able to enjoy and rejuvenate next week!!

Cheers,

Dan and Donna
