Not Everything That Counts...Can Be Counted!

Below is a video that some of you may have seen before. If not, you may need to grab a few tissues! It is the perfect example of the RMS way...putting the needs of OTHERS ahead of our own...because it's the right thing to do. (And no, it's not always the easiest thing to do.) That's how blessings work....the MORE you do for OTHERS expecting nothing in return...the more blessed YOU become! It means even more to see kids doing this, because they "learned" it from someone and I like to think that that "someone" just might have been a teacher like each of you. Our RMS Longhorns are watching...and soaking up EVERYTHING we say and do...so it is our responsibility to model the "right" way to handle situations and examples of "paying it forward" moments...without expecting anything in return! I can't even begin to count the ways that this team has blessed me in the short time we have been together. Your hard work, flexibility, and understanding when things don't always go as planned...has meant so much to me. You are some of the funniest people I have had the pleasure of working with, and when I walked into that teacher workroom this past Friday morning to find ya'll "jamming" and laughing..it made me love my job even MORE! A work family that can have fun together can get through anything, and will accomplish amazing things! I have no doubt that we are gonna knock the socks off of the scores....as well as set the bar SUPER high in every aspect for the rest of our Longhorns academic career in LCISD! I hope you had a chance to relax this weekend...you earned it. We made it through the first two weeks, so by this week we are hoping to have the new sections opened up and classes leveled out. Now is the the time for all that planning to turn into great bell to bell teaching. See ya tomorrow for a marvelous Monday! BTW...I actually think that this video would be a GREAT teaching opportunity for our Longhorns...especially during 3rd period after the Longhorn Essentials! :) Feel free to use it as a conversation starter...modeling the "right way"....the "RMS way" of doing things that COUNT! :)
