3D PICTURES OF NEW HOME

Wicca and Ebony

Two new family members were added this week to my home. They sleep during the day so they can play all night! It has been fun playing with them and seeing how they react to something new. They are typical kittens in that they will find their own amusement if you do not provide for them. They love to attack this mouse hanging from a rubber band. Great hunters in their minds.

NEW SCHOOL YEAR

Tomorrow I will start my 42nd year in education. I am excited about the opportunities that this coming year will hold. Our first two days with only staff has gone very well. Early tomorrow morning we will greet and meet all of those smiling faces. It is always a very busy day as we try to settle in for the year. I have announced that I plan to leave Norwalk after three more years. I am looking forward to that time but I recognize how much remains to be done in the next three years. Our school obtained AYP status this past year thru Safe Harbor. With the requirements increasing it will take a great deal of work and effort for us to maintain our goal as a high achieving school. I am extremely proud of the past few years for the students and staff have achieved high standards thru their efforts as well as their belief that it can be done.

Five Laws

The First Law


THE LAW OF VALUE

Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.



The Second Law

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION

Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.



The Third Law

THE LAW OF INFLUENCE

Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.



The Fourth Law

THE LAW OF AUTHENTICITY

The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.



The Fifth Law

THE LAW OF RECEPTIVITY

The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

BELIEVE!

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.


Henry Ford
