WD>WS. No, this is not a typo or an algorithm. This is the definition of leading by example: Well Done is greater than Well Said. Words motivate you, actions inspire you. Sometimes we need a good quote to effectively deliver a message, or to begin/end a speech or essay. But always remember, as a leader, as a coach, as a teammate, you speak most powerfully through your actions. Well Said is important, but Well Done is always better. 

What is discipline? Discipline is a loaded word. Especially for students. When they hear discipline they think “busted.” They feel pain and shame. And since one of the strongest cognitive biases we have is to avoid pain and pursue pleasure, they naturally want to avoid discipline. And yet...

Sage Ridge Summer Sessions are Coming!  Mark you Calendars!  June 15 - 26, 2020.  Do something BIG this Summer!  More to come.

There are literally too many things to write about this week. I can actually make this claim for almost any week at Sage Ridge.

From our productive first Board meeting of the year to cheering crowds at the varsity girls and boys basketball games. That was only Saturday!

Quick question before we read about more Sage Ridge athletic accomplishments: Parents, when you were younger, what person made the biggest difference in your life? 

Contrary to promises at the start of construction, the exit onto Crossbow Court will be used by construction vehicles for the next three weeks. The site supervisor has sent a message to all subcontractors that this access cannot be used during drop off (7:30-8:10) or pick up (3:00-4:00).

Scholar Athletes thrive at Sage Ridge as they develop the grit that supports them in sport, school and life. Our teams are continually becoming more competitive and our coaches are building programs that are being noticed across the NIAA (our state sporting agency). More importantly, our students are being competitive with integrity, courage and respect. 

Growing up is hard and filled with many choices.

The biggest choice many of our children make is not whether or not they should audition for the play or try out for volleyball. The biggest choice is about what friend group, or "tribe," that they choose to join. For most of our students this means everything. 

Our US Boys Basketball team returned this past weekend from their 3 day tournament in beautiful San Diego, CA. The Sage Ridge MS Girls Volleyball teams kicked off their season this past Wednesday at HOME against league rivals, the Lake Tahoe School Bobcats. And it is now easy to return your uniforms!

SRS PA Mtg - Tuesday, Dec. 10th @ 8:05am in the Loft
Agenda includes: Parent Survey Results * US Electives/MS D Period Update * Lunch Program

Winter athletics will be in full effect when we return from the Holiday break! Congratulations go to...details in the post!

As we head into a new year, I invite all our community to be active participants in our journey. Our quest is to provide the education our children, our future leaders, deserve so they can make a difference. How will you be engaged and involved?
