Your Work Happiness & Our McKinley Experience:
This is a great time for a self-reflection around what type of mindset and environment you are creating at McKinley. This time of year can get long - no days off in site, long days with no sun, etc. I understand that we are all human and bring our own emotions, experiences, etc. to work every day.
I challenge you to think about what brings you happiness at work. This can be anything from laughing with students, having a personal conversation with a colleague, or doing something that requires creativity. What brings you happiness at work?
During the month of February, find that happiness at work. Take time to do those things that make you happy or find new things that bring you happiness. Check in on your colleagues. Take time for you. It's important to find happiness in your work day, too.
The video below is a great reminder of what type of experience we can build at McKinley. Our little interactions every day add up to create an overall experience, as shown by the below video. Take the 2 minutes to watch....
Family-Teacher Conferences:
In a few weeks, we will welcome families into the building for conferences. Below is a 6 minute video clip with some great reminders of conferences. The man in the video is Rochester's Superintendent, Kent Pekel, who use to lead the Search Institute (a group focused on the research and application of relationships). There are some great reminders - please take the time to watch!
Have a great weekend - stay warm!
