Winter Blues
Good Chilly Morning to you all!
I think we are all getting a case of the winter blues around here. I have noticed a drop in enthusiasm for all things school and class related. Everyone and everything seems a bit on the edge. Uniforms are looking a little ragged, attitudes are getting a little snarky and I have witnessed more than a few exaggerated eye-rolls. I know it is hard to keep focus during this time of year when it feels like we all should be hibernating, but focus we must. Lets snap back to standards and put the St. Luke’s Way back into practice. Here are a few suggestions:
Girls: Check the length of your skirts and the cleanliness of your shoes
Boys: Remember to keep the shirts tucked in! If your dress shirt cannot be buttoned, it is time to purchase a new one!
For everyone: The only pieces of outerwear than can be worn in at school are the uniform sweaters, the red sweatshirt or the red fleece jackets. If you wear something else you will be asked to take it off. No eye-rolling or deep sighs needed.
We (the teachers) know how you feel…we are not here to torture or mercilessly punish you. We do not take delight in making nor try to make your life miserable…Promise.
Hang in there…get yourselves and your work back up to speed. The middle school will be a much more pleasant place for it.
Thanks! G
