ISSUE: 006 / FEBRUARY YEAR: 2022
HICKORY BEND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Some see February as the special month of Love (Yes, we LOVE our AllStars, on Valentine’s Day and everyday). However, in addition to the love, let us use February as a month to sharpen our Focus! Let’s focus on our goals. Let’s focus on the words we speak to our lives and to our children’s lives. Let’s focus on the many positives in our school environment. As your Principal, not only do I have the privilege to surround myself with the joy of children as a career, I have the responsibility to focus on their future. What I do and say will have a direct effect on their success. As a community we are charged with working together. This can at times present challenges and obstacles. However, when we work to put aside our differences, silence our egos, and focus on what is best for the children, I believe we can drive our All-Stars to unimaginable heights. Words Have Power…and the word for this month is ‘FOCUS.’ I am excited to work with you all in a focused manner that will support our students’ growth and achievement. At your service and with a spirit of focused collaboration.
