I am grateful...
When people ask me about Houlton, the first word that always comes to mind is dedication. As I think about my appreciation for the Houlon Staff, I realize how blessed we are to have a village that is dedicated to helping students succeed. Almost every day, we have staff that...
- eagerly agree to take "one more" CICO student
- put aside what they're doing to read with a student each day
- volunteer to help in the lunchroom, bus line, parent pick up, etc. when needed
- identify creative ways to recognize students for doing well
- write grants or plan fundraisers to be able to purchase things to enhance student learning
- arrange and rearrange schedules to best meet the needs of students
- fulfill "other duties as assigned" because they know it helps kids
- think "outside the box" to be there for a student
- put time into thinking of engaging ideas so students can learn AND have fun
- step in to help, just because a student needs something
- think about what's best for kids at every point in the day
And the list goes on! I am grateful for your dedication to meeting the wide range of needs that all of our students have. I hope you recognize that your dedication impacts not only their math or reading, but their entire day. It can be difficult at times, and I thank you for your perseverance in staying the path. You all make such a difference in the lives of our Houlton students.
Houlton families are grateful...
The Houlton families would also like to share their appreciation this week! All staff will find a number in your mailbox Monday morning! On Monday through Thursday, 10 numbers will be called on Hawk Talk. I'll include the numbers in the Daily, for those that aren't in the building every day. If your number is drawn, you will choose from gift cards ranging from $5-$25 in the office. On Friday, we will finish up with some bigger prizes!
In addition, HPA will provide special treats each day:
Monday - fruit and yogurt for breakfast
Tuesday - soup and salad bar
Wednesday - coffee and donuts
Thursday - popcorn bar
Friday - lunch!
Enjoy your week! You deserve it!
