Your Best Year Yet

Welcome back to a brand new school year. I love this time of year! Fall is absolutely my favourite season because of its beauty and the cool, crisp rejuvenating air. There is something enchanting about Autumn. It is often a refreshing change.

This time of year is also a favourite for me because it is "back to school" time. For many teachers including myself, Fall brings with it a sense of renewal and the anticipation of a brand new start. "Back to school " is often a time to get back to routines, to set new goals and have high expectations for a successful year.

Students come to school the first day often dressed in their best clothes, with new school supplies and renewed hope for their best school year yet. Together students and teachers alike are happy to be with their friends and colleagues and look forward to the coming year. Best wishes for a successful start to your new school year and achieving your "best year yet".

A New Year

The beginning of the New Year is always a time of reflection and renewel. We often think of the past year, considering our many accomplishments and the things we would like to improve on. We celebrate another year, set goals and discover new things that we would like try.

Our days are a kaleidoscope.

Every instant a change takes place...

new harmonies, new contrasts,

new combinations of every sort...

- Henry Ward Beecher

I look forward to sharing in your 2009 Character Goals.

Best wishes for realizing continued success in 2009!

Yours in character,
