MEMO MINUTES
Volume Three, January 2010
Each day we begin a new chapter in our lives and we have the choice to decide how we want to handle change. No two days are the same. We can choose to cultivate passion or mediocrity. We can choose to cultivate resiliency or complacency. We can choose to be hemmed in by obstacles or we can choose to seek out opportunities. Nonetheless, it all depends on how we set our sight on the goal. Running with the goal in sight makes the accomplishment seem that much nearer. It makes the goal a reality because we can see it, hear it, touch it and taste it. When we visualize the goal, we become formidable in our intensity to conquer the odds. Staff our goal for Petree is to raise our student achievement by increasing the rigor of our learning community. This task is obtainable. We are presently centralizing the fortitude of our combined vision; of our creative ideas; of our professional and personal development; and of our district support in order to make this happen. Let’s run with our goal in sight. It is obtainable. It is near. It will happen.
