*District & Community Updates*
Dear Friends of Wellness:

This is a critical time where we all need to be flexible, understanding, and agile in what presents along the way. The School Board, Superintendent, and entire District staff are making critical decisions of what school would look like, feel like, and manifest this coming new school year. Let's all understand that all these decisions are taken mindfully, cautiosly, and carefully as the health and well-being of our students, staff, and families is our TOP PRIORITY .

Through out this journey, we must realize we all are LEADERS in one way or another and everyone plays an important part in completing this huge puzzle of life. Let's reflect from a great message from the book, "The Power of Great Positive Leadership, " during these challenging time:

No matter what anyone says, just show up and do the work.
If they praise you, show up and do the work.
If they criticize you, show up and do the work.
If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work.
Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.
Lead with passion.
Fuel up with optimism.
Have faith.
Power up with love.
Maintain hope.
Be stubborn.
Fight the good fight.
Refuse to give up.
Ignore the critics.
Believe in the impossible.
Show up.
Do the work.
You will be glad you did.
True grit leads to true success.

Let's keep pressing on and...
Never Give UP!

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children
and each other...
let's grow   STRONGER   together!

Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
