GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY FRIDAY!
GISD Team- Kudos to all for your work and dedication! The start of school is always a challenge… even more so this year with in-person and remote instruction. When thinking about daily health screening, masks, shields, constant sanitizing, breakfast in the classroom, etc. it adds to my amazement and respect of what you all do for our students. I got to witness a first this year… I did not see a single kindergarten student cry the first morning of school! I hope you each have a restful Labor Day Weekend!!!
Lady Blues Volleyball- Congratulations on the Tuesday night victory over Peaster! The Lady Blues will be in action this afternoon at 4:00 pm in Jacksboro. GO LADY BLUES!

Obstacles in Our Path
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.
Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.
After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand... Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
Have a nice day and a grand weekend…take care of yourself and others!
