It was really wonderful to meet many of you at Open House yesterday. Your enthusiasm for the new school year certainly felt electric. I look forward to meeting everybody once classes start on Tuesday. The first two days will be orientation with your HomeBase. RLA will start officially on Thursday. In our first session together, we will be looking at 'the power of words' and how we can harness this power in our lives. Everybody will be a little nervous on the first day of school, even your teacher! Make sure you each do what you can to reach out to others around you, especially the new faces you see around campus. One of the best things you can do is purposefully make the effort to introduce yourself to somebody new at recess and/or over lunchtime. - Can you imagine how wonderful that would be if everybody took the time to do or say one act of kindness to somebody they meet on Tuesday?
Remember:
"In the end, everything will be O.K. and if it's not OK, it's not the end"
Feel free to leave a comment introducing yourself and talking about what you are most excited about this year!
go out of you comfort zone
