September 18-22
Dear ES Team,
Sometimes when life is crazy it takes a major event to put things into perspective. Hurricane Irma helped me recalibrate my mindset this week—reminding me that I should count my blessings rather than allow myself to complain about minor inconveniences. The impact this storm had was significant, and I am grateful that our family and friends are safe. My kids were without power for most of this week, but even this was a hidden blessing–considering how many people in the world live without this and other simple luxuries every single day! I hope, in the midst of our craziness, we can all find a small window of time (between 11am-2pm) to enjoy the special relationships and support we have at SSIS as we celebrate Family Fun Day.
Things to know:
- HR and I are working together to populate our TA sub list. They are screening applicants. If you know anyone interested in subbing, please have them contact our HR department.
- The calendar states that we will have pest control on campus this weekend—I have confirmed that this will be an outdoor treatment only.
