                  School culture is sustained through what leaders choose to protect, especially when time and energy are limited. As winter break approaches, this is a natural moment to take stock of the decisions that have shaped daily life in your school, often in ways that are not immediately visible.

                 <p style="line-height:175%">
                  Throughout this year, many of you made deliberate choices to keep relationships at the center of your school community. You protected time for connection, supported consistent routines, and signaled to teachers that relationship-building was part of the work, not something to fit in if there was extra space. In a year full of competing priorities, that kind of clarity matters.

                  When pressure builds, it is often the relational work that feels most at risk. Leaders play a critical role in preventing that from slipping into the background. By reinforcing simple, repeatable practices and resisting the urge to introduce something new at every turn, you helped create stability for both staff and students. That steadiness shapes how people experience school day to day.

                  As the year draws to a close, this may be a moment to continue holding the line on what is already working. Consistency, especially now, can offer more support than momentum. Small signals from leadership, whether that is reaffirming priorities, modeling reflection, or creating space for teachers to stay connected to students, can carry schools through a demanding stretch without adding strain.

                  We want to thank you for the leadership work that often happens quietly. The tradeoffs you manage, the boundaries you set, and the focus you maintain make it possible for others to do their work well. That responsibility is significant, even when it is not always seen.
