Choose to Spread Joy
I am “borrowing” today’s brief message from something our Pioneer Elementary principal, Donna Gatlin, shared with her staff earlier this week. It arrived in my inbox at a moment when I was reflecting upon the challenges before me and the district.
There is so much negativity in the work, our little ones (and big ones) see it all the time. It seems that many people in the world have lost their joy.
Today, choose to rise above the norms of the world…. Choose joy for yourself…Choose to share joy with others!
Please take a moment to view this short video. It provides an excellent example of how a six-year-old chose to share joy!
Have a nice day…take care of yourself and others!
