To start off our end of year countdown, we celebrated “Zoo Day” today! @WmFMurphy68

Welcome back, third graders! We are off to a soft start this morning filling our brains with positive affirmations before state testing later this week! @WmFMurphy68

5 tips to reduce stress of staff. 1) if asking to meet with them, let them know why. 2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff. 3) praise a lot more than you critique 4) Minimize meetings 5) continual encouragement and support
