We're back! I am proud to relaunch the Gibson Grizzly Blog, the best way to share and save the news and important events for the Gibson family! Not only will announcements be shared, but also we can also share inspirational and encouraging words for all.
The Week at a Glance-
Staff meeting-August 17 at 8:00 sharp
We will have our kick off staff meeting for the 2011-2012 school year on Wednesday, Augsut 17 at 8:00 sharp. Come hungry because the PTA is sponsoring a full breakfast for us. We will get a chance to meet the new president as well. Our meeting should last for the first half of the morning, including PBIS training.
At 2:00, We will take a staff picture-business casual-no jeans or shorts, please!
Thursday and Friday are professional development days-Kim and Raphael will discuss in more detail on Wednesday.
I read a great book this summer by Kent Keith entitled Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments-Finding Personal Meaning in a Crazy World.
Like the title suggests, each of us can find meaning and purpose despite the things around us that seem to "drive us crazy". I want to share a few of these "commandments" with you at a time throughout the year and hopefully we can all share insights from them. If anyone would like to read the book, maybe we can start a book club.
- People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered-LOVE THEM ANYWAY.
- If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives-DO GOOD ANYWAY
That's enough for now:-) See you Wednesday-the next posting will be Monday, August 22.
