Quote for the Week:

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....
--Dr. Seuss, Oh the Places You'll Go

Food Drive Awesomeness!

So, today was the end of a different but truly awesome week of food drive.  I know some of you have had opinions about the changes this year, but I want to make it clear that I have LOVED the service days and hanging out with the incredible Goodpasture students.  I also LOVE the way we have truly worked as a school to serve our community.  I LOVE the fact that the food drive was not about our rewards this year.  And I really LOVED the wonderful pep rally today.  Did you see the excitement in the elementary students?  Did you see that our precious kindergarten students had nearly $2,000 worth of food?  Did you see that those guys LOVED being in that gym and celebrating?  Did you see our teachers who were willing to be a bit awesomely foolish as we illustrated the read 12 Days of Christmas?  I know that all of you are jealous of my moves, ha-ha!  If I haven't said it lately, I want my students to know that I cannot think of anywhere else I'd rather be than Goodpasture.  Even after 20 years of teaching, I am so thankful to get to work at this school.  I know that God will continue to bless us as we serve Him by reaching out to others.

Sound off time!!!  If you want some extra credit, post your comment to the following question no later than Friday, December 14, by 3:00 pm.  Be sure you follow directions:)
