Let's finish the school year in a strong and FUN way!  I know we still have testing going on and we need to encourage our students to reach their goals!  AND there are some awesome ways to complete the school year in a fun and strong way.  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE and THIS ARTICLE to get started on some easy fun ways to culminate the year including making the students the teacher or hosting a talk show....try to include the outdoor classroom too!

As we get more and more antsy about it getting closer to the end of this school year, we notice that the positive vibes can sometimes be shoved to the side.  This is one of the times throughout the school year that we need it THE MOST!!  How can we continue to foster our positive school climate so that we are just as excited to come to GVMS today as we were at the beginning of the school year?   
While we have several school-wide systems in place to promote a positive school culture, we are already planning for an even STRONGER positive school culture for next school year.  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE regarding what we, as a collective group, can do to take our staff (and, in turn, students!) to the next level!!

Would YOU come back to visit YOU? Ask yourself, have I engaged my students?  Have I made a lasting POSITIVE impression on them?  Have I connected with them on a level more than just with subject matter?  If you said NO to any of these, take a moment to reflect on your teaching.  ARE YOU MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT AND A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE?
