Welcome to the 2015-16 school year! It has been a beautiful Minnesota
summer. Our staff has explored the world
in their quest for life-long learning. I
hope your family is ready to experience the awe and excitement of the beginning
of a new school year.
If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you know I
usually start with a quote. In looking for a quote to begin the new school
year, I remembered the multitude just outside my office door. Our welcome back bulletin board in the
hallway is entitled “Quotes to Lead By” and staff members have shared quotes
meaningful to them. Quotes are important
to me because it is often someone else’s words that give us pause or cause us
to reflect. My love affair with quotes
has also made me much more aware of the impact of my own words. While I don’t expect to be quoted on a
website, I do hope that some of the things I say have meaning and impact on
others in a positive way.
I decided to let all of our bulletin board quotes start our
new year. Perhaps you will find one that
is meaningful to you or causes you to shift your thinking or perceptions in
some way. If you do, I know the staff
members would love to hear about the impact of their quotes on you. Or perhaps, you would like to share a quote
with us. Please feel free to do
either. I collect quotes and love to
receive more!
Don’t forget to make arrangements to attend Lower School
Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 10th. This parents-only event is a time for you to
get to know your child’s classroom teacher, hear from specialists (art, Latin,
music, and physical education), and learn more about the grade level routines
and curriculum. We look forward to
seeing you!
Have a wonderful first week!
Mrs. Baier
