September 18

 As we begin week 5, we acknowledge that we are in full swing of school, and the end of the week will mark mid-quarter of the 1st 9 weeks. I want you to stop and acknowledge the small successes you were able to do within the first 4 weeks of school and celebrate. Celebrate you, your kids and the process. Those successes you were able to have are a result of the small habits you were able to stack everyday to lead to 1% daily improvement and a growth mindset.  Each of you work hard and that hard work is seen and appreciated. We will have a wonderful week at Pershing because you are here.
