Welcome to 2015!

I just love a new year.  It’s a time for a “do over”.  I love how we can start anew; set goals, decide how to have a better year, how to lose weight J, and how to be successful.  For many of us that means writing our goals down and keeping it in front of us as a reminder.

Mr. Ellison has asked our students to list their college choice and any extra activities they are involved in.  We will put those on posters and hang them around our school.  We want to keep the ultimate goal, college and career ready, in front of us.

My personal goal/New Year’s resolution is to Be Active.  I want to Be Active in mind, body, and spirit.  I love to read, but have gotten out of the habit.  Over the break I picked up a book on my shelf titled Write Better, Speak Better.  Now who can’t benefit from that?  Look out, this blog my experience a ‘better written’ message as we go throughout the year.  I ALWAYS want to improve my body.  What female doesn’t?  I say this every year, but I want to write it down and plan to be intentional.  As far as being active in spirit, I always strive to be closer to God.  This year I want to be intentional serving others.  More details will follow, but I’m so excited to hopefully serve on a Habitat build.   One of our custodians will be receiving a Habitat house.  They are supposed to start breaking ground in March.  I’m hoping we can have a 9th Grade School Day to help.

If you haven’t asked your student what his/her goals are, be sure and do that.  Over the next few weeks, I will be inviting parents to meet with me to develop a plan on how to help their student reach their goals.  Feel free to contact me if I can be of help to you and your student.
Happy New Year!  Let’s make this a great one!


Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
