Thankful

It's a short week, just two short days.  But even in those short two days the RCE Roadrunners were busy with learning, activities and more.

It's a time of the year when we think about what blessings we have in our lives.  I think back to just one year ago when we were all frantically packing to leave the transition campus and move to our new campus.  We are all so thankful for this new facility.  At times its difficult to remember what the old campus looked like and felt like.
A thank you to the Rummel Creek PTA that provides so much for the teachers and staff every day.  We love the Thanksgiving pies we received today as we left school.  We are thankful for the luncheons, all of the extra little things that make working at Rummel Creek such a blessing.
At Rummel Creek, we are thankful for students that go out of their way to do their best.  This week the spirit stick was awarded to Mrs. Trevino's second grade class.  Each week it gets harder and harder to select the class to award the spirit stick to.  We are thankful for the students that work so hard.
I am very thankful for the special library groups that meet in the library - from the Library Board that gives me ideas, to the Bluebonnet Bunch that always has something outstanding to say about the current title we are discussing, to the Student Council students that have such a heart and passion for helping others.  And of course, how could I miss saying how Thankful I am for the KRCE crews - each month the students amaze me with their ability to punt and do the show every morning even with technical difficulties.  It's amazing to have so many students that "Do the right thing, because it IS the right thing to do!"
I am thankful this year for the Watch DOGS that come in each day.  Watching the dads work with the students in the building is amazing.  The students admire the Dads, and sometimes just that little extra time with a male figure is just what a student needed.  So thankful that Dads are spending time with their children.
I am also thankful for a few days away from RCE for Thanksgiving.  Time to rest, reflect and spend time with family.
Blessings of the season to you all.  Enjoy the holidays with your families.  Take time to be Thankful.
