May 16th-20th #makingmemories

Yesterday, my friend Tracy Walker posted this image on Facebook, and I've seen a few blog posts about not counting down the days left in school. Carly also wrote a beautiful post about saying goodbye (you can read it here). My husband keeps telling me that his highschool students have checked out, and I love that when I walk around Star that kids are learning, engaged, and happy! That is not by accident, and all because of YOU! Here are some thoughts from Todd Schmidt, a principal in Southern CA about

____ Days To Make A Difference This Year!

"It is my hope that all educators would take this opportunity to look at these last few months in a different way."

Here are some of his thoughts that I love:

____ Days To Make An Impact
____ Days Together To Make Lasting Memories
____ Days To Share This Adventure
____ Days To See Your Smiling Faces Every Day
____ Days For Us To Grow Together

"What will you write on your whiteboard on Monday morning? Let's do this together!"  Todd Schmidt
