At the end of the month is our Splash Day! This is a fun day of water activities. It gives the teachers and students time to just play around and be silly. There is nothing more fun than squirting your teacher with a water gun!

Today is the day to magnify all the good feelings within you. As you move through the day, give all of your attention to how you are feeling. Keep filling yourself up with more good feelings and more good feelings! Fill your day with what makes you feel good. Listen to your favorite song, eat your favorite food, see your favorite friend!

The first was fast and furious and the second will be over just as quick. Thank you to everyone for always putting kids first! Wood River Elementary is the best!!!!!!

THANK YOU THURSDAY

Today is the day to say and feel "Thank you" in as many ways as you can. Return "thanks" today to those who have done things for you. Be thankful for the little things and look for every opportunity to say "Thank you"! "Thank you" -- just two words with potential power! And all they need is YOU to put the power in them. Take time to thank your students for their good behavior and their desire to learn and be the best that they can be. Thank you for being a wonderful staff !

It's feels GREAT to be back! I love the Holidays, but it's always good to get back into the routine of school. Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Happy New Year!!

Thanks for being a great loving "family". Wood River is a wonderful place to be.

GOOD DEEDS WEDNESDAY

Wood River is full of "Good Deeds"! Give encouragement to those around you. Give kindness. Give good words to those you see and speak to. Give your smile to everyone. Give your undivided attention to those close to you. Give compliments. Look for opportunities to do good deeds. Look around and you will see a school that is made up of teachers, staff, and students that are continually giving to others!

GOOD DEEDS WEDNESDAY

GOOD THOUGHTS MONDAY!

Think good thoughts for you and think good thoughts for others. Refuse to give your attention attention to anything that will not produce good thoughts. On average, humans think well over 50,000 thoughts a day, so you have 50,000 opportunities to think good thoughts today!! I am sure that out of the 50,000 thoughts you have today, lots of them will be for our school, our students, and our co-workers! 2010 is going to be a great year at Wood River!!

Welcome back everyone. This year is going to be fabulous and I love working with all of you.
