Welcome to the most anticipated winter break in recent memory! What an intense few months it has been! Just a few items for your consideration as we wrap up the week and prepare for a couple of weeks of rest from our hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO DO<\/strong>:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Have an amazing and well-deserved winter break! Despite the travel and get-together limitations associated with COVID-19, I hope that everyone unplugs, relaxes, gets outside, and enjoys these next couple of weeks with an eye of optimism looking ahead to 2021! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I will update this section on the back end of break and send a reminder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ON THE RADAR<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Santa. He will literally be on the radar here.<\/a> The Hallmark Channel. Activities and people that bring you joy. A good book or two. Relaxing music. Time to reflect and look ahead. Yummy baked goods. Zoom calls with family. A variety of beverages and spirits. And, hopefully, good times had by all . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I will update this section on the back end of break and send a reminder.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHOUT OUT . . .<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

. . . to our collective PBMS GIANTS community<\/strong>. As I am sure all of you are, I have been overwhelmed the last week or two, and frankly all of this fall and early winter, by the seemingly endless supply of energy and creativity that you bring to your work and to our kids. Your willingness to try new things, repeatedly head back to the drawing board, and share your learning with your peers has kept students and adults engaged and aspiring for more. And while not all of us are holding WebEx meetings with students on a daily basis, our staff who are behind the scenes are doing an amazing job supporting our students families and each other. Our collective mindset is one of resolve to make the most of what is possible given the circumstances, and I know our students, families, and broader school community feels it, so thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special thanks to Heather<\/strong> for all of her hard work organizing our gifts this year, and all of our staff who made this week festive and fun!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy birthday to our staff who have spent a lifetime getting “combined” birthday and Christmas gifts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letty Hellerud<\/strong> (12\/24), Kristi Bourlai<\/strong> (12\/27), Brett Brunner<\/strong> (12\/28), Lisa Brooks<\/strong> (12\/31) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
