Life of a Lion for the Week of August 26.

Class of 2025 Senior Sunrise.

Tonight, as you put your children to bed and wish them well with good vibes, I challenge you to also send positive vibes to: Administration- who probably won’t sleep tonight wondering what they have forgotten to do Secretaries- who will likely be still working late into the night making sure everything is ready for everyone Teachers- who definitely won’t sleep tonight and are likely still at work putting the last minute touches on their classrooms Cooks- who are excited to do what they do best and make the kids smile though food Counselors- who have worked tirelessly creating schedules and setting up meetings and tours to make everyone feel welcome Maintenance Staff - who have worked all summer to clean the buildings and make them look presentable Paras and support staff- who are likely just as nervous about the first day of school as the kids and likely will not sleep either Bus drivers- who will be going over their route in their sleep tonight hoping they don’t forget anyone on the first day Nurse- who has been sorting through data to know who can and can’t have Benadryl and keeping up with immunization records It takes a village. Everyone does their part to make sure your student has the best first day ever. And most of it you’ll never see. It’s the sleepless nights, the worrying, the planning and then re-planning of lesson plans. It’s the “I think I have all the schedules complete and printed and then have to do them again because a change had to be made.” We do it for the kids. I work with the most selfless, passionate, creative people ever and this is the only way I could think of to give you a little glimpse into our world. Thank you to all of the Swink School District Employees and Cheers to a Great School Year!

School is almost starting and we want to ask you for a favor...Sit with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there's never a reason to make fun of someone for their height, their weight, their skin tone, their home life, the things they enjoy, etc. Explain there's nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes everyday. Explain to them that a used backpack carries the same dreams as a new one. Explain to them that teasing hurts and that school is LEARNING, NOT to compete or spread negativity. Remind them some kids don't go home to loving families so it's important to be kind. It ALL starts at home!
