1 Medstead Mirror Medstead Central School Newsletter Principal s Pen June has arrived. Last month of the school year. So much happening. Elementary track and field. Some field trips. Some final projects and assessments. And, of course, Graduation. To all our students, we say the same thing every year FINISH STRONG. Our school has teachers. Next year, there will be considerable changes to almost every one of their roles in our school. As a new administrative team helps shape the future of our school, everyone s responsibilities will look a bit different in the fall. To quote Shrek, Change is good donkey! Change can bring some uncertainty and anxiety, but also it brings renewal and motivation. I was in Tim Horton s the other day and a young person in line was having a fit because the workers behind the counter were not processing the line up fast enough. It was a slow process, but the servers were working very hard at getting orders filled as quickly as they could. The person in line became quite vocal about how much time they were waiting in line. It was not as wild as some of the stuff we have witnessed on TV recently, but it was upsetting. I feel that too many people have developed an attitude that the world owes them something and that they deserve to be treated special. We all deserve respect and have basic human rights, but we do not have the right to berate people for insignificant reasons. If we all treat each other with respect and have tolerance, I feel much of the stress of this world would disappear. I do not want to be alarmist, but I want parents to talk to their children about the reality of tick bites. This spring we have had a few students tell us that they have had ticks removed from behind their necks or in their ears. Kids have to play outside, so we are just trying to be as safe as we can. One month of school to go. Thought for the month: The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends in large measure upon how our children grow up today. Margaret Mead Yet another thought If you are not introspective, you should take a long hard look at yourself.
