RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Feb. 4, 2018

Dear Dedicated RES Staff,

Only 10 LONG days until a well-deserved break!  Hope you have a wonderful Super Bowl Sunday!


KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Patty for sending in your blurb for the Valentine's Day Basket raffle!
  • Leticia for covering remaining Gr. 5/6 students so Cathy can help at Ski Runners.
  • All of you who met and shared your knowledge with the Barnard staff!
Important Items to Know:    

Mama Mia Raffle - Please ask students for the raffle tickets and money!  The dinner is  next Sunday.  If you'd like to help, you're always welcome!
Innovation in Learning - The Innovation in Learning study group wants to invite you to an exciting community event taking place on Thursday, February 8th at the Woodstock Town Hall Theater.  We'll be showing the documentary "Most Likely to Succeed".  The film is a documentary connected to the book by the same title by Tony Wagner and Ted Dintersmith.  It makes an urgent call for the re-imagining of American education.  The showing of the film will be followed by a panel discussion.

Here are some details.

Documentary: “Most Likely to Succeed” (followed by panel discussion)

Date: Thursday, February 8th, 2018

Time: 7:00 pm @ Woodstock Town Hall Theater

  • 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm - Introduction and Showing of “Most Likely to Succeed”
  • 8:40 pm - 9:30 pm -  Panel Discussion: Re-imagining education to better equip students for the realities of the 21st century economy.
We realize that many of you may have family and personal obligations that may make attending this evening event difficult. To that end, we'll also be showing the film immediately after our scheduled faculty meeting on Monday, February 5th. Attendance to both events is optional. On the 5th, our plan is to get the movie started no later than 4:30 pm. It has a run time of 86 minutes. We'll be serving soup, pizza and salad for those who plan to stay.

                  Dear Dedicated Staff, It's hard to believe this is the last staff blog  of  the school year.  Thank you for taking the time  to read  it even though you are crazy busy with end of year items.   I want to commend those of you who are ALWAYS professional and focused on students, and kind and courteous to your colleagues and myself.  We all have an exhausting job, but it's time for a well deserved rest.   Change is always a challenge.  I applaud those of you who accept and welcome change with a  positive  attitude and as an opportunity for growth.  I hope you have a rejuvenating summer.  I'd love to have our returning staff over to my home for a cook-out in late August.   I'll be sending out an e-mail to those of you who check it.  I'll be in and out throughout the summer, so don't  hesitate  to text me if you have any questions.   We wish Beth Ann, Libbet, Greg, and Pam the best as they begin their next leg of life's journey!  You will be missed!
