All I want for Christmas is…...

The Three R's:  REFLECT, REASSESS, REMAIN

One of the qualities of a good teacher is the ability to reflect.  Learning from our lessons and improving is important for all of us as we continue to empower.  During this holiday season, I encourage each of us to look back on the first semester of school and think about how we made an impact.  What goals did you have at the start of the school year?  Where are you in the process of accomplishing those goals?  When we meet again on January 2nd we will begin the second semester and a new calendar year.  January is always a good time for goal setting but it's important to reflect before we tackle our resolutions.  Learn from mistakes and make a plan to succeed.  Take some time during this break to reflect on where you are, reassess your plan, and remain focused on your goals.  

HBOE will host the trophy this week.  Remember to count points during the break.  

KEEP MOVING!

BACK TO BACK WINS FOR HMS

Congrats to HMS for another weekly win.  The trophy will remain in the front office at HMS.  This team is another one of those "worst to first" scenarios.  Truly a testimony to a team pulling together and deciding to encourage, motivate and hold each other accountable.  GREAT JOB HMS!

Numbers are up in our Spin class.  HKES continues to be the most consistent-once again accountability is the key.  

#RWRunStreak Update:  As the weather gets colder and the rain continues it will be a challenge to keep the streak.  22 people took on the challenge, we have lost a few along the way but several are still competing to run or walk at least one mile every day from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas Day.  Monday is day 12!  Keep the Streak Alive!

TRIBE TRAINING from IronTribe Fitness Spots Available=  If you are interested in Tribe Training we have  a couple of spots opening up for the second semester.  Email me asap if you want to be part of our strongest team.  

Week 12, New WINNER

HMS Fest=THE BEST

Usually when one of our workplace teams hosts an event that requires our employees to spend time together outside of the classroom it results in a team WIN!  Congrats to HMS on a successful "FEST" and on winning week 12 of the PPC.  

Thanksgiving Day started the #RWRunStreak.  If you are streaking, please remember to answer YES on the PPC tally card.  Streakers must run or walk at least one mile daily from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas Day.  At the end of the Streak (Dec. 25) you will have earned an event leading to winning The Movement Medal (4 events + Spirit Scamper qualifies you for the bling).

Spin Class= MONDAY at 4:15-5:00pm.  Get there!

Mercedes Marathon Relay:  If you are interested in participating in the 2014 Mercedes Marathon as part of a relay team involving our students and The Bell Center, please email me asap.  We need a few employees to join forces with student teams.  Distances are 5K (3.1 miles), 10K(6.2 miles) and 12K(8 miles)
