By the time you read this, the KSL visit will have concluded.  I want to thank everyone who took part; Mary and the choir, Angie, Steve and ballroom, and the rest who showed up so early in the morning to make it a good show for the rest of Utah that gets up that early.  I can't forget the PTA, Choir, and Ballroom for providing food in the morning as well as Steve and crew for making sure the school was sparkling.

Thank goodness this is a short week.  I think we all need a break.  Make sure you start the long weekend as soon as possible on Tuesday.
The next standard will be Standard 7 which is Instructional Strategies.  Click on Standard 7 for a link to the google doc that I give out during training.  Click on  Instructional Strategies for a preview of training coming up.  I'd like to be through Standard 7 with everyone by the Christmas break and then spend January on standard 1 and 2. I will start setting up the schedule next week after Thanksgiving.

To Be Aware of

• I think most who are going to have signed up for +Remind.  If you haven't, let me know and I will show you how.
• Thankgiving Break starts at 3:30 Tuesday.  I'm not sure if all are aware.;)  If you have things in the fridges downstairs, make sure you take that all with you so it doesn't go bad over the long weekend.

Celebrations

• Congrats and thanks to Mary and the choir, Angie Lowe and her ballroom crew/kids, and the Reading Committee for getting to school EARLY on Monday for the KSL AM show.  Thanks to teachers and kids for showing up early as well.  Thanks to the PTA for organizing and providing some early morning munchies. And last but not least, Thanks to Steve and his crew for making sure the school was in tiptop condition.  Steve was here for many hours during the weekend too.  Please say thank you to all who were involved.
• Congrats to our BYU students for successfully completing their practicum experience.
• Congrats to everyone for turning in their grades on time.  It is nice not to have to worry about that a whole lot.  You all are very good about taking care of grades on time.

Great Video clip of the Week

If this doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I don't know what will.

Great Read of the Week
I got this email this morning with a link to an article.  You are all amazing and make a huge difference in the lives of our students.  The article is blocked here at school, but you can read it from home.
Kyle,
While I couldn't sleep this morning, not sure if it's from my back or just anxious for what's going on at GC today...
I found this article. I can see so many of our teachers there being this teacher. Thanks for all the goodness that is Grovecrest!
