Thank You!

Teachers,
I just want to take the time to thank you for participating in the READ to SUCCEED campaign.  It is your dedicated service that makes the difference for our students.  It is my desire that each day we are planting seeds that will make lifelong readers.  Mrs. Underwood shared with me that we had 64 students that recieved Six Flags passes through this program.  I call that a success!  Thank you so much Mrs. Underwood for taking on this project in my absence.  I greatly appreciate your hard work. 

I know that many of you didn't have the opportunity to Read the Most From Coast to Coast due to the tornados that ripped through our area. I am so glad that each of you and our student are safe and alive.  I had you all on my mind as I watched the weather.  Although I understand we had one family that had a total loss, I am grateful that they are all alive. 

Please don't forget that we must have our PROGRESS MONITORING for all students completed before break. The window for progress monitoring is March 19th -March 23rd.  If I have not returned to work I need all of you to send me those scores electronically.  Please do not place them in my mailbox.  Email me your scores so that I may get them to central office and the DIBELS database on times. 

I found a new website that I really liked and wanted to share.  It is called WE ARE TEACHERS.  The website address http://www.weareteachers.com/. It is filled with exciting tools that teachers can use.  I found the best education apps, topics & discussions, grants & contest, monthly ideas, free products & trials, and lesson plans.  Check it out!  I think you just might like it. 

Keep up the great work, know that I love and miss each of you, and I look forward to seeing you soon.  I am doing well.  I'm just trying to be a good patient so that I don't have to repeat this process.  I still have an open incision in my belly that Tim has to stuff daily.  I never imagined feeling like a Teddy Bear but what is life without all of its little suprises.  He's been an excellent nurse and I sure do thank God for him.  Until later don't forget to smell the roses along the way, hug & kiss your family, and to tell somebody that you love them and mean it.
