WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
This was an email sent to me and I just wanted to share it...
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator
and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake for me
and I learned that the little things can be the
special things in life. When you thought I wasn't
looking, I heard you say a prayer
and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to
and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was
sick and I learned that we all have to help take care
of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it
and I learned we have to take care of what we
are given. When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw how you handled your responsibilities,
even when you didn't feel well
and I learned that I would have to be responsible
when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes
and I learned that sometimes things hurt,
but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw that you cared
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know
to be a good and productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I looked at you and wanted to say,
"Thanks for all the things I saw,
when you thought I wasn't looking."
THIS IS FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW
WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS,
BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT!
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend)
influences the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today?

Veteran's Day Program
We were honored to be invited to the Veteran's Day Program today in the High School Gym. It was a wonderful way to show how thankful we are for our Veterans. Our students were very well behaved. They really enjoyed listening to the choir and band students. Ask your child what the best part of the day was for him/her.
October Student of the Month
Parker Heaton is my Student of the Month. The character trait for October was Self-Control. Parker got off to a rough start this year. He wasn't sure that he wanted to be here, but now he is doing wonderfully! He is a very good boy and a role model student. He tries hard to act like "Charlie". He always demonstrates self-control. Parker will get to eat off of the Salad/Hot Bar every Friday for the remainder of the month. Way to go buddy!
