What a week!! I am exhausted and the students are not even back yet. This week we as a staff began to form relationships with our new teammates, we began team building and we greeted our new students. The PTO again amazed me with their demonstration of teamwork pulling off an incredible "Meet & Greet". Our students and parents rushed the class lists like they they had discovered a pot of gold under the rainbow that stretched across the sky over Antioch. Assistants and teacher collaborated and pulled classes together while admin and the support staff ironed out final details so all our students will be able to succeed this year. The sense of URGENCY was clearly in the air this week. Even with the feeling of exhaustion I know we will all be energized when we see all the smiling faces Tuesday morning. I can't wait to see the school alive with learning again. This is going to be a great year.
