Super Bowl & Busy Week

Are you getting ready to watch the Super Bowl?  There will be a lot of attention on the 53 players on each team.  They are the stars of the game, but there are so many other people who are involved in making sure that each individual and each team is ready to excel at the highest levels.  This is how it works with lots of different career fields.  Even school.  You, as students, are the stars!  Your opportunity to show off all that you know in class every day takes perseverance, dedication, focus, and daily work beyond just showing up hoping to excel on the day of a test or exam.  The athletes who will be on the field have to put in lots of time outside of Sunday game-days just like you need to do every day.  Hopefully you also recognize that there are lots of people who surround you to help support and encourage you to achieve at your highest possible levels.  Your teachers, parents, and coaches are at the fore-front of that list, but remember that there are others, including me, who are here cheering you on and believing in you too.  (And, it's true, you won't get a Super Bowl trophy, but your work will end with a high school diploma and lots of opportunities for the future so that's certainly just as rewarding.)

Over the next few days I will have the chance to meet with every freshman and every sophomore student and junior meetings will continue as well.  They will be insanely busy days and my time with each student will be quick, but in spite of how brief our time together may be, I love the chance to be able to spend some time with you reviewing your plan and hopefully encouraging you to push yourself to achieve at your own highest level!

As a reminder - Freshmen: You meet with me tomorrow (Monday) so bring your signed registration forms with you!  Sophomores: You are up on Tuesday and also need to bring your forms too!

So, while it won’t be as entertaining and fun as the Super Bowl, the week will be busy.  If you’re wanting to stop by for a visit to catch up and talk more than the super quick registration related conversations, then please aim for Wednesday or Friday because while those days are still busy, they are not completely booked as the rest of the week.
