EMAIL SENT HOME APRIL 21
Good afternoon students,
Spring is my favorite time of year. There is a large picture window near my desk, when I look outside I can see the trees budding, the fruit trees blossoming and the tulips and daffodils ablaze in color. Spring is a time of renewal. In school, Spring is often seen as a time of closure, but if we take our clues from nature this is, in fact, a time of renewal. Spring is the perfect time to make sure you are on track to blossom into the person you want to become. If you’re behind in your school work don’t give up, work harder, reach out and ask your parents, your teachers, me for help. If you’re on track, keep up the good work, the end goal, your learning, your success is worth it! If you're done smell the blossoms- you deserve it! This is your second email for the week. The purpose of this email is the same as that of this entire series of emails, to inspire and motivate you to make the most of your education while at the same time encouraging you to complete quality work in a timely manner by the end of the academic school year. This email is accompanied by a three minute video available below. While watching the video make note of the following:
All surveys for the free drawing must be completed by 8:00 a.m. Monday 4/26. You will be informed later that same day if you won. Best wishes, Mrs. Ness

Many of you are coming close to completing your course work, others of you are rushing to catch up. Wherever you find yourself, don’t forget the goal.
