Every staff member is a valuable
contributor to our wonderful school culture and community. Let’s acknowledge
the good of others by spotlighting a colleague and lighting up their mailbox
with fan mail. On Monday, December 4 you will find a fan mail form in your
mailbox that identifies your assigned colleague. Please write them a
note on the form describing what makes them a “star.” Please place the
completed form in their mailbox by Thursday, December 7. Please attach any fan
mail that you receive to your classroom/office door so others can read the
great things that you have done.
You can spotlight other colleagues by
grabbing extra fan mail forms outside of the mailboxes. Just don’t forget to
spotlight the staff member that you have been assigned by the deadline. Thank
you for spreading holiday cheer this season.
On Friday for the 12 Days Before Winter Break, the leadership team will be providing a Souper Star lunch. We
are offering a variety of soups from Gloria Jeans, a local café in Belleville.
In addition, there will be sub sandwiches.
Due to your efforts (positive phone
calls, grade level events, new student mentors, positive behaviors in MyNHA,
etc.), we were able to decrease our attrition rate at the beginning of THIS
school year.
Thank you for everything that you do
that embodies our Core Value “making our school the best choice for parents and
students.”
