Steer Nation Message 2-1-19 What We Do

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY FRIDAY!

Legally Blonde The Musical  Jr.- Bravo to the cast and crew on a great show! It was awesome seeing so many students involved. Great job by Mrs. Huitt and Mrs. Sanders for putting it all together!

School Calendar Amendment- Last spring I agreed for Graham ISD to host the junior high and elementary (Crestview and Woodland) UIL Academic contests. There was some difficulty in reaching a consensus on a date for the elementary meet. It was determined the best date for our contests to be Tuesday, February 12. In order to have enough staff and facilities to adequately run the contests, we would need to add a student holiday on February 12 or swap it with another day. It has been decided that we will swap the Friday, February 15 Teacher Workday with Tuesday, February, February 12.

Instead of adding February 12 as an additional student holiday, we are amending the calendar as follows:
      Tuesday, February 12 will be the teacher workday and the date that we host the UIL Academic meets.
      Friday, February 15 will be a regular school day.

No change is being made to Monday, February 18. This date will remain a Staff Development day and student holiday.

Lady Blues Basketball- Congrats on the OT victory over Iowa Park this past Tuesday!  Best of luck at home this evening at vs Vernon.

What We Do

Two stonecutters were asked what they were doing.

The first said, "I'm cutting this stone into blocks."

The second replied, “I'm on a team that's building a cathedral."

The sad and wonderful thing is that both of them are correct!  We either see our role as an independent contractor or as part of a victorious team.

Whether one’s responsibility is maintaining a building, preparing lunches, driving a bus, managing an office, administering, supervising, or teaching I hope each of us see ourselves as part of a team that is building children and changing lives.

Have a nice day!

CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY

Why did the Clydesdale give the pony a glass of water? (Scroll down for the answer.)






Because he was a little horse.
