Welcome to 2016!  I hope you and your family had a fantastic break and are enjoying the great start to 2016. Did you make any New Year’s resolutions?  Resolutions are good because they can lead to new and healthy change.  Sometimes resolutions aren’t new behaviors or habits; sometimes they are just re-commitments to principles to which we already adhere.    In the spirit of re-commitment (and fun), here are some good resolutions to which we all could adhere:

I resolve to use my growth mindset- to know that I can get better at anything with hard work and effort over time.

I resolve to be more present in the moment- to be more mindful of my surroundings and grateful for those around me.

I resolve to drive more safely, especially around Springer’s campus.  On that note, I resolve not to leave my car when parked along the drop-off curb!

I resolve to model the behavior I want to see in those around me.

I resolve to read the Buzz every week!

Again, these are not new resolutions but re-commitments to the things we value.   

Hoping you have a wonderful weekend!
