This week is packed, at least on paper! We’ve got super unit planning, super unit celebrations, and visitors eager to see our super units in action. And while it already looks busy in writing, the reality is that it’s even more hectic, as the behind-the-scenes logistics needed to pull everything together never make it onto the calendar. On top of that, our students are buzzing with excitement, engaging deeply in their learning and making all of our planning come to life in such meaningful ways.

With everything going on, I encourage you to carve out a moment to pause, breathe, and be present. Take a second to appreciate not only your hard work but also how much growth and enthusiasm you’ve helped foster in our students. You’ve worked hard to get to this point, and seeing our students thrive is a direct reflection of that effort. You should feel incredibly proud.
