Week #21- January 20, 2025
I enjoy watching the NFL playoffs each year. The photo above tells you as much. Even though my favorite team had a terrible year, I hardly ever miss watching playoff games. I appreciate the high level of planning and execution shown by all of the teams in the playoffs. The games played this weekend were exceptional.
I approach school leadership from the coaching mindset. As a school, MES is constantly reviewing the game plan, making adjustments, and trying to maximize the talents of each student. I think of the Winter Break as halftime. During this break, everyone is able to catch their breath, get some much-needed nourishment or rest, and make adjustments to the game plan for the second half. I am looking forward to the second half at MES. Great things are on the way!!
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
Have a great week!!
