My principal bestie (and future co-author) Melinda Miller always shares that October and February are the two worst months of the school year, in fact…she calls them the armpits of the year! (which is both gross and awkwardly appropriate!)
I’ve done these Fab Fridays with her for a NUMBER of years and while the activities vary from year to year (including a great new addition from Melissa K this year!) the message is always the same.
We see you.
We appreciate you.
We want you to feel supported, loved and encouraged.
Now you can do these things ALL the time of course, but there’s something about alliteration that just makes my heart happy!
Here is this years version…
I’ve had some inquiries about how we fund these…and the answer varies as much as the activity. For the soups, I have parents signed up to bring soups and fixings, the fruit & nacho bar we’ll use our discretionary money for, and the book reading will be FREE…minus some fun new book titles I need. 🙂
Here are other years of ideas, and if you’re an admin you can always join our appreciation and
