The Movement

Last week I had the honor of presenting the Thumbs UP Award at Edgewood Elementary.  UP=Unique Potential.  The students were recognized for adhering to four factors which allow them to reach their Unique Potential and achieve Thumbs UP!  The four factors are:  Focus, Friendship, Fitness and Framework.  Focus on the job at hand.  Multi-tasking isn't always the best tactic for success.  Sometimes it's best to narrow your focus.  Be IN the moment.  Friendships and family are especially important when overcoming obstacle and celebrating victories.  Always take time for the people in your life, not just during the holiday season.  Fitness includes how you fuel your body and your activity level.  Check out Ms. Kitty Morgan.  The picture below was taken last week during one of her morning workouts.  She schedules her activity before her workday begins, to ensure she gets it done.

Which leads us to the final F=Framework.  Have you been neglecting your wellness because "life" gets in the way?  At some point, the neglect will begin to impact your ability to live life.  The time commitment you make to wellness allows you to add quality to your life.  I encourage you to take time to reflect on the first semester of our school year.  What have you done to ensure you reach your Unique Potential? Empowerment is an incredible opportunity.  Empowerment gives your life a Thumbs UP!  Think about our mission statement as you look forward to second semester.
