Halloween Booth

I need volunteers to help with the Olathe North Halloween Night this Thursday.  I am looking for people to:

  • Donate bags of candy
  • Help decorate our door / booth
  • Pass out candy to the kids

Please comment, e-mail me, or tell me first thing tomorrow what you can do.  I will give extra credit / make up points for these things.  It is a WONDERFUL thing to participate in.  We used to do this when I was in high school and it always left me with warm fuzzies!:)  Who doesn’t love kids in costumes!  Let me know ASAP!

For Monday

Hello everyone.  I am working on the announcements for the week.  They will be posted later.  Thanks for a great pancake breakfast!  It was a huge success! 

For Monday.

  • Come with a ready to work HARD attitude.  We need an intensity every day all week long!  Lets make it happen!  You will be very glad on Friday if you do!
  • Remember your responsibilities – be on time, wear the right attire (sports bras or pinned bras), have tennis shoes AND jazz shoes, hair back by numbers, etc.
  • If you did not turn in your grade card, bring it on Monday.
  • Do not forget Boo Buddies this week.  Monday is favorite candy.  Secretly give it to your person.  Do not forget or put off until Tuesday.  It is not fair.
  • If you did not turn in Applebees tickets or money this MUST be turned in on Monday.  We are finalizing this fundraisier.  Please do not make it any more difficult.  We need extra tickets or money turned in on Monday.  Do not forget.

Let me konw if you have any questions.  The rest of the announcements will be posted soon!  Hope you had a wonderful day!  See you in the morning! :)

7 Steps to Success

(from Shawna and the Troyettes)


1.  MAKE A COMITTMENT TO GROW DAILY
One of the greatest mistakes people make is that they have the wrong focus.  Success doesn’t come from acquiring, achieving, or advancing.  It comes only as the result of growing.  If you make it your goal to grow a little every day, it won’t be long before you begin to see positive results in your life.  As the poet Robert Browning said, “Why stay on earth except to grow?”

2. VALUE THE PROCESS MORE THAN EVENTS
Specific life events are good for making decisions, but it’s the process of change and growth that has lasting value.  If you want to go to the next level, strive for continual improvement.

3. DON’T WAIT FOR INSPIRATION
Basketball great Jerry West said, “You can’t get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.”  The people who go far do so because they motivate themselves and give life their best, regardless of how they feel.  To be successful, persevere.

4.  BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE PLEASURE FOR OPPORUNITY 
One of the greatest lessons my father taught me was the principle of pay now; play later. For everything in life, you pay a price. You choose whether you will pay it on the front end or the back end.  If you pay first, then you will enjoy greater rewards in the end- and those rewards taste sweeter.

5. DREAM BIG
It doesn’t pay to dream small.  Robert J. Kriegel and Louis Patler, authors of If It Ain’t Broke, Break it, assert, “We don’t have a clue as to what people’s limits are.  All the tests, stopwatches, and finish lines in the world can’t measure human potential.  When someone is pursuing their dream, they‘ll go far beyond what seems to be their limitations.  The potential that exists within us is limitless and largely untapped.  When you think of limits, you create them.

6. PLAN YOUR PRIORITIES
One thing that all successful people have in common is that they have mastered the ability to manage their time.  First and foremost, they have organized themselves.  Henry Kaiser, founder of Kaiser Aluminum and Kaiser Permanente Health Care, says, “Every minute spent in planning will save you two in execution.”  You never regain lost time, so make the most of every moment.

7. GIVE UP TO GO UP
Nothing of value comes without sacrifice. 
Life is filled with critical moements when you will have the opportunity to trade one thing you value for another.  Keep your eyes open for such moments—and always be sure to trade up, not down.

 

If you dedicate yourself to these seven steps, then you will keep improving—and you will be successful. Your growth may not be obvious to others all at once, but you will see your progress almost immediately.  And though recognition from others may come slowly, don’t lose heart.  Keep working at it.  You will succeed in the end.
