WELCOME BACK to the last week of April and week four of the Spring A module! I do hope that the few days you had off gave you some time to spend with friends and family.
Hopefully it also gave you an opportunity to let everyone know about your journey here at the Dorsey Roseville campus. When you let other people in your life know about your goals and dreams it allows them to not only support you and your decisions, but let’s them share in your journey as well. This was an important decision in your life! If you haven't yet, why not spend a few moments letting friends and family know about your dreams, your goals and the career choice you have made?
Dorsey schools takes pride in supporting our students in developing their talents as well as self-esteem, confidence and professionalism. As part of the student support system, Student Services maintains an open door policy. If you feel you need someone to talk to or some help in thinking about solutions to problems either in school or outside of school please stop by. Stop by even if there are no problems just to say hello and grab a piece of candy. My office is in building C, just ask at the front desk for Mrs. Eifert.
Don’t forget Mother’s Day is Sunday May 8, 2011! I know I cherish those handmade gifts and letters given to me over the years. Here are some ideas that are not costly, but can be priceless when given with love.
1. Type out the things you treasure, cherish or feel have been positive influences from or about your Mother, Grandmother or the woman who impacted your life. Print them out on colored paper, cut in strips place in a jar and label it the Memory Jar. Give instructions that she pull a “positive” from the jar on the days she misses you or just needs a boost.
2. Write an “essay” or poem to tell her why you are proud to be her son/daughter. Print it on pretty paper, buy a frame at the dollar store and frame it for her.
3. If you feel “crafty” and your special Mom loves flip flops, then purchase some hot colors, a $2.00 bag of rhinestones from the craft store and spend a couple hours together making some “flashy” matching flip flops.
4. Staying in school, completing your program, getting the career you want is also a great gift to give to your Mom as well as your entire family.
5. Last but not least give the gift of yourself, your time and attention is sometimes the best gift of all!
To close this week's news from Student Services I’d like to share a quote:
“There is a choice you have to make in everything you do. So keep in mind that in the end the choices you make, make you.”
Have a great week!
Sharon Eifert
Associate Director of Student Services
