YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Winter break is almost here. I know how hard you are working and I know how much you need a break and a rest. Thank you for all that you do. Please be sure that you take some time to really take care of yourself over this break. Here are some ideas that you might try out. I look forward to spending some time with family and swimming when it isn't dark outside. I never thought I would be the kind of person to look forward to exercise, but what I learned this year is that I can't swim, breath, count laps, and worry. I am forced to let worry go for the 1 hour that I spend in the pool. I hope that you have an activity that forces you to let worry go, even if it is just temporary.

Here is hoping that you have some fun with your students in these last few weeks. Laugh

With gratitude,
Stacy
