In her article, she suggests there are 5 key things that resilient people do:
2. Manage their stress daily; recognize signs of burn-out AND do something about it!
3. Choose work that supports their real selves. Resilience comes from being authentic and not trying to be someone or something you are not.
4. Choose work that has meaning to them. Most successful and resilient people do not work for a paycheck, but do the work because they believe in it!
5. Manage change and setback by maintaining emotional regulation. Working to stay in the frontal-cortex of the brain helps individuals
manage stress effectively.
As we know, teaching is very stressful. Learning resilience is imperative for all of us as we work to build better versions of our selves and create a healthy environment in which to work in. Heading into Spring Break, I hope all of you find time to take a much deserved break that will help lower your stress and help you find resilience to get through the end of the year!
As a treat for this last week before Spring Break, please feel free to wear jeans this week! :-)
Important Information:
Grading: Just a reminder that the end of the 9 week was Friday. Grades will be due on Wednesday at midnight! Our goal is for report cards to come out on Friday, March 15th.
ISTEP: Due to the weather, the ISTEP schedule will change slightly. We will be testing Monday and Tuesday this week for English. I know that it has been disruptive for some of your classes. Thank you for your flexibility! This is the first round of the ISTEP test for 10th grade. We will be testing again at the end of April. I hope to have a schedule out soon.
ASPIRE: On Wednesday, March 13th, all sophomores will be participating in the county-wide ASPIRE event. Sophomore boys will leave PC after first period to head to Tell City. The girls will be at Perry Central. The event finishes at 1:00 p.m. Students will be back in classes by the end of the day.
PC Alumni Visit - Perry Central Alumni, Keith Fritz, will be visiting Perry Central on Thursday during 2nd period. Keith is a very well-known furniture maker. He has made several pieces of furniture for the Clinton's, thee White House, New York, etc. His furniture shop is located in downtown Ferdinand. We are excited to have him return and speak to our Entrepreneurship and Art students. He attributes his success to Perry Central and the opportunities he had while he was here. A list of students will be sent out so you know who will be at the event.

BPA State Convention - Good luck to our BPA students this week as they travel to State Convention in Indianapolis.
