Regardless, a new year brings new opportunities, new challenges, new learning, and the positivity that something new will bring us. I look forward to hearing about the new things you are doing whether in your classroom, in the gym, on the ball field, or on the stage. One last challenge - how about making a new friend. Reach out to someone new to your school, try sitting by someone new at lunch, or just smile at someone that you don’t know. With a little effort you’ll have a new friend!
