I hope summer has been treating you well. I’m getting ready for a camping trip, but before I head out, I wanted to give you a quick preview of something I’m building for the coming year. How would you like to say “no” to your next fundraiser that requires a ton of staff time just to raise a couple hundred bucks?

Hey friends, Happiest of summer breaks to each and every one of you. I hope this finds you on a beach, on a mountain, or at least logging some extra sleep. I’m a week into vacation and have been to the Oregon coast, completing a few house projects, and am gearing up for a camping trip. And, of course, I’ve been chipping away at the revamps for next year’s newsletter. I’m really excited to announce the updates, and I’ll get to that over the next couple of weeks.

Hi friends, We made it! Week forty and the final (regularly scheduled) email of the year. Congrats all around! Here in Oregon, we’re entering our final week. We just had graduation for seniors last night and will get the rest of our kiddos across the finish line for the year in a few days. It’s far too soon to post much of a reflection on the year, but this week’s Emailable PD encourages teachers to start that process. I’m big on reflection.
