]]> 2016-12-19 13:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144301513 Just want to give all the veteran teachers and staff a huge shout out for always being there to answer questions and give helpful suggestions! This is a great team to be a part of! I was going to upload the video of Mr. Leopold's class doing the mannequin challenge but it was too big-if you want to see it let me know :) https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144303189 -Shelbi Timmons]]> 2016-12-19 13:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144303189 Coming back from maternity leave was such a hard adjustment leaving all my babies home. However, it is always so nice to see the people who become your second family to help make those hard times a little easier! I also may be a little late to the party, but it has been nice getting to know all the new staff here! Lastly, our job is a tough one, so I think everyone in the building should be thanked for all of their hard work and effort day in and day out!! THANK YOU!! https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144322953 ~Meghan Smith]]> 2016-12-19 15:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144322953 An Attitude of Gratitude https://padlet.com/tharrismurphy/highlights/wish/144373149 I want to give the BIGGEST THANK YOU to Cathy McCabe who can always be counted on to stand in the gap in the time of need! Last week during my scary family emergency, she stepped right in to make sure things were taken care of for my 24 children at school while I could be a mom to my very own daughter! It is a blessing to be a part of a team that supports each other and will lighten the load for one another!

Words can merely describe what my heart often feels!

Love,

His calm demeanor and pleasant attitude is always a breath of fresh air!
 Mr. Harris, I pray that your cup is refilled as often as it is emptied when you pour into so many others!  Thanks so much for all you do!
