Take a Moment to Notice

We have had an awesome week and hope you have as well! It was short and sweet, but we learned lots of great information about ADHD during our professional development day. So much so that it is turning into a parent workshop (see Parent University) at a later date! We have had some wonderful soccer and volleyball events, not to mention Middle's Mini Day and Mustang MANIA! Such excitement!

 

This morning on my way into school I noticed that my large maple tree was yellowing on the top and that it was dropping leaves already. It doesn't seem like it should be time for that to happen, but I suppose it is. It still feels like summer outside, yet the clock keeps ticking. There is always something beautiful to appreciate, just make sure you take a moment to notice.

 

Have a nice weekend, see you Monday!
