Give Your Heart a Break

It is with a heavy heart I make this week's post. My beloved school principal passed away suddenly and with her a spark, magic, and greatness seemed to slip away with her. She was a great administrator, devoted mother, loving wife, kind person, and very funny to get to know. Just last week I posted about taking time to check in with your children (students) because we never know what emotional tolls they may carry.

This week, I take the stance to make sure you check in with someone you love to let them know how much you care. It goes without saying that teaching takes heart, let's all really take a moment to get to the heart of the matter this month, the month of Valentine's Day to really let someone know you love them, care about them, and show it. It is a great time to hug your firsties just a little closer and smile at them a little wider.
