POD,

As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to share just how thankful I am for each of you. I know the days can be long, the demands can feel endless, and some weeks seem to take a little more out of us than others. Please know that I see you, I appreciate you, and I am grateful for all that you pour into our Dolphins each and every day.

Thank you for the patience you show, the relationships you build, the challenges you navigate, and the countless little things you do that often go unnoticed. You make a difference, even on the days when it may not feel like it.

A little good news! There will be NO POD Power Hour this Tuesday! I hope this gives everyone a little breathing room during an especially busy season. Please be sure to communicate the cancellation to families.

While we are all looking forward to a well-deserved break, we still have two important weeks of learning ahead of us! Let's be intentional with every instructional minute, keep our expectations high, and continue providing the engaging, meaningful instruction our Dolphins deserve. Our students are counting on us to keep the momentum going, and I know this team is up for the challenge!

Let's continue to support one another, find moments of joy, and remember that we are all in this together. We can be tired, grateful, and committed to excellence all at the same time!

I am truly thankful to be part of this pod. You are what makes DeGolyer such a special place!

Two more weeks, Team! Let's finish strong and head into Thanksgiving Break knowing we gave our Dolphins our very best!

With gratitude,

Y.Garcia
