Life Is Too Short To Be Anything But Happy...So Exit With GRACE!

Congrats…you made it!!!!  Last week of school! I wanted to share my thoughts on “exiting with grace.”  Each of you have been a VALUABLE part of the RJH Longhorn family for the past three years.  As with any job that you have been at for any length of time there are always ups and downs.  There are memories (some good...some bad), relationships (some positive...some negative), learning curves (some steeper than we first imagined), and then of course, the huge invaluable impact on students futures you have had over the past 3 years.  So when I reflect on these quotes above, it reminds me that everyone crosses our path for a reason, everywhere we go (and work) was for a reason, and everything that happens to us….was for a reason, even if it’s not clear to us!  I believe each of you were all placed in 6^th grade for a reason…that reason being…I NEED YOU….my open-minded passengers on the extraordinary RMS Energy Bus ride!!  That’s right!  You are now going to be surrounded by people that make a conscious effort to FOCUS on the GOOD stuff!  Administrators that want to grow a family atmosphere!  We are after all, the RMS family…we are a team….a loyal team that will always go the extra mile to help each other out, always maintain respect for each other (both in and out of school) and always have each other’s backs.  We all have baggage…some of it is even our own…we must leave the baggage behind.  As the quote suggests…there is gonna be so many “funny” moments…I am a walking comedy act…all by myself (not sure if this is curse…or a blessing…ha-ha) but beware…you might just laugh so hard you pee your pants.  I hope Ms. Wilson  has an extra change of “adult” clothes!  Lol  J I believe in always giving 110%, pushing our kids further than any curriculum, maintaining “Mt. Everest” size expectations,  building those lasting relationships with our kids, parents, and each other…but NEVER forgetting that we MUST have fun (lots of fun) along the way…and never, EVER give up!!! J   As you are wrapping up your final week at RJH, let’s handle ourselves with grace.  You are already setting the tone for RMS…so smile, be respectful of everyone that you are leaving behind, pack up the baggage and leave it behind.  You have a wonderful (well deserved) summer break coming right up, and the luxury of coming back to an amazing journey on the “Happy Happy Happy….and a little Cray-Cray-Cray” RMS Energy Bus!  Have a Marvelous Monday Team!
