Welcome to the end of January and the start of February.

In an effort to continue our Attitude of Gratitude for 2015, I want to acknowledge our very hard working Buildings and Grounds Staff, who spent countless hours over a snowy weekend and two snow days keeping the campus in shipshape for our community as we returned to school on Wednesday. When you see them in the hallways and the parking lots salting, sanding, snow blowing, and plowing, thank them. Let your children see you thank them.

At a recent Parents Association Meeting, I shared a very brief video clip of Richard Weissbourd of Harvard showing us what we can model for our students. I share it here again, along with the January newsletter from Making Caring Common.

Enjoy!

And enjoy the snow!
