(NEW) Tuesday Wear Your JG 'Tradition Lives Here' T-Shirts!
On Tuesday, we are asking all students and staff to wear their black 'Tradition Lives Here' t-shirts from the John Glenn Education Foundation!
(Reminder) Attendance at WES!
Over half of the school year is in the books, which means we are sledding down the hill quickly toward the end of the year.
As a reminder, attendance at school is CRITICAL to a child's academic and social success: Missing even two days a month can accumulate quickly to 20 days out of school.
If your child(ren) must miss school, please communicate those absences to Mrs. Harasewicz, and also your child's classroom teacher.

Dr. Fuller's Thoughts!
Sometimes it feels like things happen to us that are out of our control.
Things people say…
Things people do…
The weather…
None of these things we can control…but we can control how we think about those things.
There will always be ‘outside noise’ that tries to distract us from our mission or our goals.
We must train our brains to filter the outside world by taking the crooked, the confusing, and the overwhelming by bringing order to the chaos.
If you think that you will be happier without all of the external noise and stress, then you may NEVER be happy.
Take peace in knowing that you cannot control everything.
Control your mind and what goes in it.
Manage three things: Your Choices, Your Will, and Your Mind.
The rest, is well, just noise :)
