Gorilla Gathering message for the week:
Yesterday we celebrated Labor Day. It's a day to celebrate our ability to work. I know what you're thinking: "Why would anyone celebrate work?" But that's not how we should look at it.
Over the past few years, I have had several family members and friends, as well as student-athletes, who become unable to work. Some of them had health episodes. Others had serious injuries. Yet all of them had something in common. All of them COULDN'T WAIT to get back to their work. For some, it's their job. For our students, it's school, sports, and fine arts. But no matter what their "work" was, they couldn't wait to get back to it!
It is our PRIVILEGE to get to do what we do! To be around the people in our lives every day. To be productive and be a blessing for others!
Teddy Roosevelt said, "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Notice he didn't say "Work that is fun." He said "Work worth doing." That means finding a way to be a blessing to others. And make no mistake: for our students, school, sports, and fine arts is work worth doing. It's the single thing they can do that will have the biggest impact on the rest of their lives.
So this week, let's all remember what a privilege it is to do what we do every day! Appreciate the relationships at work, whether it be with customers or coworkers, or students and teachers, doctors, nurses, and patients, or just the people you come across throughout your day. Someone, somewhere, wishes they had the opportunity to do the same!
Challenge for the week: Enjoy the PRIVILEGE of work!
Every day is a great day to be a Gorilla!
Have a hard working week!

Gorilla Gathering message for the week:
Welcome back! I am always excited to start a new school year! I can't wait to see all of the kids and coworkers again. Every first day of school holds tons of possibilities and potential and I'm excited to get started!
Every first and last Gorilla Gathering of the year, we talk about Legacy. I always ask specifically the seniors, "How do you want people to remember you?" Legacy is what you leave behind. It's the possessions or property passes down to another generation.
But it's also more than that isn't it? Isn't it also leaving behind the way we made people feel when we were around?
Dara Horn says, "Every person has a legacy. You may not know what your impact is, and it may not be something that you can write on your tombstone, but every person has an impact on this world."
Whether we want to, or not, every one of us will leave a legacy of one form or another. Yes, there may be money or property, or some prized possession. But there will also be the way we were able to make people feel. People will remember if we were always willing to help, or if we were a good listener, or if we made them feel special.
But they will also remember if we made them feel worthless, or if we were rude or mean, or if we never had time for them.
I would encourage all of us to be very intentional about trying to leave a positive legacy. One of kindness, generosity, and joy!
We are ALL going to leave a legacy! It might as well be a good one! One that makes people smile when they think about YOU!
Challenge for the week: Leave a legacy of kindness, generosity, and joy!

Have a great week and an awesome school year!
