~ You ARE Important ~

Take care of yourself - you deserve it! Taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do as an educator. Try to carve out 5 minutes during your planning period to do something that will rejuvenate you. Drink a glass of water, walk the hallway, watch a funny video clip, or stretch.
