Thursday Thoughts April 14
What a week! In spite of challenges, we have been able to keep in mind that stressful situations don't have to break our spirit. We have SO much to be grateful for at Medlock and we can't let things outside of our control throw us off of our game. Our students feed off of our energy so we have to be mindful of our actions and reactions, especially during the most stressful times. We have exactly 30 school days until the end of the year and we have to finish strong. We must keep our spirits up to make it through the next 30 days. Every job in this building is tough because there are so many unknowns. But through it all, there is one "known"......we take care of each other. We do what it takes to get the job done and we can do it with laughter and love!
Staff Spotlight
This week I would like to shine the spotlight on
Stephanie Woods. Stephanie does whatever it takes to support her
students, the grade level and our school as a whole. During our
"Testing Turbulence", Stephanie stepped up and volunteered to come in
early on Wednesday morning and assist Karen in getting the 4th grade
paper/pencil tests ready for distribution. As you know, Stephanie
volunteered to run for our School Governance Council where she will be serving
for the next two years. In the classroom, she is constantly seeking ways
to challenge her students. Her students use technology in a number of
different ways and she challenges herself to design and create tasks for them
that highlight their creativity. Stephanie has been committed to Medlock
Bridge for years. Her laughter and spirit make working with her fun for
her grade level and her colleagues. We are thankful for Stephanie's
leadership and appreciate what she is doing for students everyday.

Looking Ahead
Did you know that only 34% of Georgia's third graders are reading on grade level? This and so much more information about the current state of education in Georgia can be found in this new online booklet published by the Ga Department of Education. http://www.gadoe.org/Documents/EGF-booklet-2015.pdf
