The Friday Memo

Teachers,

If you've been on campus this week, you've noticed the "buzz" in the air as we quickly approach the first day of school. Our 6th and 7th grade students now have their lockers, and the Wildcat Girls did an outstanding job of helping them find their classes. Our new teachers have been participating in orientation and seem excited about getting started next week.

Here are a few reminders as we approach the first day of school:

1. If you have not already done so, please remember to stop by the Business Office to pick up your PTO monetary gift. I'll be happy to pass along thank you notes to the appropriate people should you feel moved to write one.

2. Please check your class schedule carefully and make sure you have enough desks/chairs in your classroom. Due to some unavoidable conflicts, we have a few classes that are larger than we would like. We want to make sure we don't spring desk/chair requests on our outstanding maintenance staff at the last minute.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us - Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)

Have a Great Weekend!
