2019 is here!

Let’s make the effort to roll it out properly.

And no, our theme for this school year hasn’t changed.
(It’s still “FSD – Where Effort Opens Opportunity!”)

So as we enter a new year together as a school family, I’ve got a big challenge to put before you.

I’d like to encourage you (and me!) to FOCUS OUR EFFORTS in one particular area over the next few weeks.

Certainly, it’s a big challenge, but we can do it!

And I believe we’ll see huge dividends as a result.

You ready?

Here’s the challenge.

Let’s intentionally MAKE THE TIME over the next few weeks to pause and truly reflect on the many blessings we have in our lives, our school district, and our community.

The world always prods us to speed up and rush about.

Let’s push back.

Let’s make the time to slow down, think, and appreciate.

Let the world call us to engage, engage, and engage.

Let’s push back and make the effort to simply look around us and ENJOY.

That’s it.

Let’s enjoy learning.
Let’s enjoy the everyday miracles occurring in our classrooms.
Let’s enjoy the wonderful people serving our children.
… AND LET’S ENJOY EACH OTHER.

So there you have it.

Freeing up space in our busy lives to “enjoy more” may take some effort.

But oh, it sure will be worth it!

Last year’s FSD Hall of Fame honorees are also big time effort-makers.

I hope you will make the time to read their profiles.

Adrian Eichhorn and Mary Weiss will inspire you to always look up, keep going, and never give up on making the effort to pursue your dreams.
