Good morning Tanks! Rise and shine today! Yes I know it is early in the morning...maybe too early for an all call. Be excited for the day ahead.
Next week is Thanksgiving break and we will be in session Monday and Tuesday. No school Wednesday thru Friday. Enjoy the time with your family and friends and be thankful for the blessings and opportunities afforded to us all.
Students, this has been on my mind a bit lately and I feel very compelled to share. The cell phone can be a powerful, very powerful tool for your personal development and improvement efforts if utilized properly. Social media can be as well. You will find what you are looking for...if you are looking for drama, negativity, divisiveness, and trouble it can be found. If you are looking for positivity, encouragement, connection, and growth it can be found. Think about what you find yourself drawn to and focused on. Think about it. There is real strength in making good decisions with your time and thoughts. Be selfish with what you allow yourself to be focused on and where and how you spend your time. Here is another thought I was exposed to on social media and would like to share. If you are trying to do your best and improve yourself and get your life in order and your âfriendsâ get in your way that is actually really helpful for you because you have now identified who your friends arenât. You might think I canât give them up. Yes you can and yes you should. It will actually be better for you and them. If they are aiming down and they want you going down with them there is nothing about that that is good for them or for you. Choose your friends wisely. It is one of your most important decisions as a child and as an adult.
3 days til Monday!! Carry your own weather!! Hard work works!! Audit your circle!! Be grateful!! Win your day!! Go Tanks!!

Parent/Teacher Conferences next week on Thursday, November 18, 2021.
Congratulations to our boys cross country team for finishing 3rd in the State on Saturday along with 2 of our girls for qualifying and competing as well. Corey Schobelock and Gabe Lynch earned All-Ohio and Indy Spetnagel and Briana Nelson finished in the top 50! Once again Unioto was represented at the State level in a very impressive manner. Proud to be a Tank. Nice job coaches and athletes!
Congratulations to our boys soccer team for an outstanding season reaching the Final Four for the 2nd time in school history. Great job coaches and athletes. Fantastic season!
Our coaches and athletes dominated the awards at the Fall SVC banquet by gobbling up many many awards! These awards were awarded at the banquet but earned over the last 2-3 years. Hard work works.
Congratulations to our staff for their commitment and hard work each and every day. Many have little understanding of what it takes to bring it each day as an educator. It is only easy if it isnât done right. There are no shortcuts to being an exceptional educator and I am proud to serve a staff that recognizes the value of steady and consistent work for the betterment of their craft and influence on our most precious resource - our children and their future. So a big congratulations to our staff for bringing it each day for our students and community. Something you may not know about bringing it each day for others...when you do this you bring it for yourself. It isnât even up for debate. When you bring it for others you bring it for yourself. It is a relentless and unbreakable reciprocal cycle that creates real greatness. Helping others helps yourself and helping yourself helps others. If you are searching for a real purpose and meaning, I can tell you it is to be found in helping, influencing, and improving the lives of others. Try it today. Give it a try. Have an aim to improve another in some small way to experience the feeling of joy and sense of pride in your efforts and impact. Imagine if each of us took a small step towards focusing on the betterment of others. Thankful and proud we have a staff that brings it each day to help others!
3 days til Monday!! Carry your own weather!! Hard work works!! Audit your circle!! Be grateful!! Win your day!! Go Tanks!!
