The Warrior Watch
October 23, 2023 - No. 9
In October, the change in seasons becomes apparent as days seem to get shorter. Some of you may now be traveling to and from work in the dark, losing the benefit of the added sunlight and vitamin D intake.
In addition, the newness of the year has started to wear off as challenges in the classroom have revealed themselves. The energy felt at the beginning of the school year has waned, and you may begin to feel fatigued while waiting for a break that is still a few weeks away.
In order to help combat this, try some of these self-care strategies:
- Make time for relaxation. It can simply be finding small moments in your regular schedule to do something you enjoy.
- Take some time to clear off your desk. Sometimes resetting your work environment and getting organized helps relieve stress. **I did this Friday before leaving (putting some paper stacks into files and putting them away). I was refreshed today when I walked in my office.**
- Plan grading strategically. A good practice can be to avoid tests on Fridays and during the week when grades are due. This can help to manage your schedule by building in time for make-up work and reducing the amount of last-minute work.
- Embrace the holidays. Presenting new information to students on days filled with distractions can lead to frustration. A better plan could be to use those days for an activity or simply as time to review material already covered.
- Address expectations and determine if you need to adjust or maintain routines and procedures. Keep doing what is working well and think of ways to improve areas that may still be challenging.

Great days of service
Canned food collections were up a little bit from last year!!
2022 = 8544
2023 = 8856
Without Robert White and David Adams, all 8,856 food items would not have made it into the
Bailey Inglish Cafeteria!

Human Resources Appreciation Day
Bonham ISD is very lucky to have Brandy as the first voice and face our new staff get to hear and see when they are considering BISD as a place of employment. That A+ treatment does not stop once you are hired - she is very friendly and helpful to all employees and goes the extra mile to make sure they are taken care of at work.
