It is during this time of the year when
I reflect, give thanks, and share the great things that are happening at
school. I am blessed to be working in such an incredibly compassionate and
benevolent school. This time of year can be hurried, rushed, and frantic, which
often creates anxiety and angst for everyone. However as we end the school year
at Francis Howell Middle, we've set aside time to celebrate and give thanks.
Earlier this month the #TMSHawkchat (Timberview
Middle School in Keller, TX) topic was “Why do we need to celebration and end
the year on a positive note?” I mention this as it is evident that schools
across the nation take time near the end of the school year to celebrate the
great things that happened during the school year. It is vital that we celebrate and end our school
year in an affirmative manner.
Thursday (May 23rd) we celebrated the school year with our students, staff, and families. A day-long event which included team activities, an extended lunch (with Kona Ice), grade level celebration assemblies, and an All-School Celebration Assembly that culminated in a Flash Mob (compliments of our Drama Teacher Mrs. G.). It was truly a wonderful way to spend the day at school.
Today (May 28th) after the school day concludes we will celebrate with staff and friends. We will honor our colleagues who will be concluding their educational careers and beginning a new and exciting time during their retirement years. To Cheryl B., Keiren G., Kay W., and Molly L.– thank you for giving of your time, energy, creativity and countless hours to make a difference in the lives of our students throughout the years! We will miss your leadership presence here at Francis Howell Middle.
So even though it is still six months until Thanksgiving, it is always a good time of the year to stop and give thanks. I am so thankful for the incredible staff of teachers we have a FHMS. I am thankful for the dedicated parents who are involved in the lives of their children and our school as volunteers. I am thankful for the great students we have here at FHMS – as they truly know how to lead the way. It’s a great day and a great year to be a Junior Viking! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. So, what are you thankful for?
