Good Morning Coffin Community, This is Mr. Ciembroniewicz and I’d like your attention for one minute on this Monday morning as I share a few thoughts with you.
This weekend I had a chance to visit with my friend Barak – no, not the president, but my friend Barak Olins, the baker. On a last-minute invitation a few of us joined him late Friday evening as he baked over 200 loaves for the weekend farmer’s market. I’ll admit, I almost didn’t go – it was late and I was tired after a long week – but I’m so glad that I did. While Barak worked, we all caught up for hours about our lives, our families, past adventures and those to come. This ended up being a highlight of my weekend.
What a nice reminder for me that it’s often the simple and spontaneous things that can be so rewarding. I’m glad that I rallied to make that extra effort and joined Friday’s gathering. We’re now planning to go smelt fishing in the coming weeks. (BTW, I know a great little spot nearby that is known for their smelt fishing – my hometown of Bowdoinham).
I hope you get a chance this week to connect with your many friends here at Coffin School and that you, too, enjoy each of these small moments.
As always, it makes me proud to see all the joy and enthusiasm that each of you bring to Coffin Elementary School. As Baxter Bear would say, be kind, be gentle, be safe – and, do good work.
I’ll look forward to seeing all of you at Friday’s ‘Coffin Cares’ assembly.
Have a great week.
