Good afternoon, everyone.  I typically refrain from counting down the days remaining on the school year for as long as possible, since it seems to make the time seem longer (administrators look forward to the upcoming summer as well).  Next Monday will mark 25 days left in the current school year.  Things are ramping up leading up to that day, with multiple concerts, grade level activities, and recognition programs.  In my interactions with students, I try to reinforce the hope that they continue their best efforts through the final day.  Now is not time to coast.  I feel confident that they will continue to devote themselves to their work, while also maintaining positive behaviors that they have exhibited throughout the year.
