Our school district and community lost a wonderful teacher and person, Robin Bumgardner, on Friday of this week. Our prayers are with the family, friends, students, and staff during this terribly difficult time. I can say as countless others can, I was blessed to know Mrs. Bumgardner. She loved her students, her coworkers, her family, and Unioto! The viewing will take place on Tuesday, January 31 from 12-5pm and will be located in the HS gym with the funeral service to immediately follow.

A few announcements:

Announcement for preschool through 3rd grade students: A reminder elementary students in preschool to third grade (PK-3) after the holiday break will return to school on January 9, 2023. Again, preschool through grade 3 students will not attend school January 4, 5, and 6th due to staff participating in professional development.
Next week: Wednesday, December 21, 2022 is the last day of school before the holiday break and is a 2 hour early release. It will be here before you know it! Time flies when you are having fun! When you are really engaged or focused in an activity, event, or task it seems as if time passes properly. I am sure we all have experienced or noticed the different perspectives on time. Be selfish with your time and who and what you spend it on. It is more valuable than you may realize. Be thankful you even have time. If you are reading or listening to this message you have time. There are many that simply no longer have time. Time is valuable. Be grateful it. Consider the following perspectives on the value of time: The value of a second - Ask the person who survived in an accident just by a second! The value of a minute - Ask the person who has missed their bus, train, or flight by 1 minute! The value of an hour - Ask the person who they are waiting on. The value of a day - Ask someone who is hungry for the whole day. The value of 1 week - Ask someone who has been admitted to the hospital for a whole week. The value of a month - Ask someone who has not recieved their last month of salary! The value of a year - Ask someone who has been failed or a high school senior that can not wait to graduate! The value of time you have existed - Ask someone who is close to the end that never truly lived. One of my favorite lines in one of my favorite movies - Braveheart, William Wallace says, “Everyone dies but not everyone lives”. Take the time this weekend to think about your time!
Have a great weekend, carry your own weather, hard work works, be grateful for your time!
