Families, we are entering that time of the school year where it seems like we are all are just extra tired… done with the winter cold, feeling the burnout of running around with activities, and the waning enthusiasm over staying on top of everything. All of these feelings and experiences are completely understandable as the winter blues are hitting us all. Even if you are one of the more optimistic ones that have kept your spirits high, chances are you still have those long days too. To make a comparison, now would be mile 18 of the marathon race :).

I share this as I believe now is the time to reflect on how far your child has come since the beginning of the school year. Looking back in time whether at photos, report cards, and just retelling moments – can be the refresh that helps push to the end of the school year. Now is not the time to coast, but keep the foot on the accelerator. Finishing the final months of the school year with a renewed spark to make the end of this year the best days yet!

We still have so much in front of us with testing, field trips, and learning many more new concepts that staying focused will be important. We are here in this together, school and family, and we have all we need to finish the year strong. We got this!
