Week 3: August 23 - 27, 2021
Good Evening Brahma Parents/Guardians, Students and Staff,
Welcome to Week Three!
Tomorrow, we begin our 11th day of class of the 2021 -2022 school year. A typical year consists of 180 days of instruction and with each day, we have a keen awareness of the scarcity of our time together. Some might be surprised by the brevity of our time in school thus far, while others may be consumed with the how fast the days seem to pass by. Mostly, I hear the amazement that it has only been two weeks of school, yet it seems like we have been here two months!
Recently, I came across an interview with Oliver Burkeman about time management and the importance of spending our limited time on we value most. In Burkeman's book, he points out the best time management technique is one that helps an individual to "neglect the right things." Each day our teachers hope to build that smart decision making and I am glad that we have 169 more days to do it! #Brahma Built!
Best Regards,
Reuben Jones
Principal
