We will be moving October 31. Considering leaving Warm Springs has not been easy. I really feel that, after three-plus years here, I have only just begun. My wife, Jamie, and I have grown to love you all greatly. Warm Springs has become home for us and you our sisters and brothers, family. We have laughed and cried, grieved and celebrated together. We have worshiped the same God together. You have shared your cultures, your struggles and dreams with us. You have taught us so very much. You have given us a great treasure, yourselves. What leads us away from all this is a growing concern for our families in California. My father and grandmother and both of Jamie’s grandmothers have been and are in poor health—something that was not true when we moved here. We are feeling it very important to be closer to our families. (Let me repeat here that I am not leaving because of dissatisfac tion. As I indicate above, I have enjoyed my ministry and life here.) Though we are sacrificing the peace and quiet of Warm Springs for the noise and congestion of the city, we will be 15-30 minutes from our parents and within hours of most of our family members, including my older daughter. Though we are trying to get around to see people before we go, there are so many of you we fear some will be overlooked for lack of time. For this reason our Presbyterian congregation will be having a potluck for us after church on October 23. Please come. Please know you will always have a special place in our hearts. We shall always cherish our time here with you. May God bless you all. Love, Steve Frank and Family Warm Springs Elementary News get what we expect, not what we want by Ed (DUSO) Roley An im p o r ta n t p o in t em phasized in a T rib a l E m p lo y e e D e v e lo p m e n t P ro g ra m c a lle d H u m a n Effectiveness Training was that we program our brains for success of failure through the thoughts we feed ourselves. T h in k p o sitiv e th o u g h ts produces positive actions. It’s interesting that given the choice, most of us feed negative self-talk to ourselves rather than positive. It may be that we don’t realize how powerful an impact our own thoughts have on our lives. Why would s o m e o n e w a n t to p u t themselves down? Visitors to Warm Springs Elementary school will observe < a staff that focuses on the many positive behaviors our students Spilyay Tymoo photo by Shewczyk Designer o f Warm Springs Elementary logo H am ilton Greeley explains the designs significance imprinted on shirt worn by Warm Springs Elementary physical education instructor D ave Jordan.

This is a move in the direction of reprogramming negative expectations children have of themselves. Examples we hear include: “I see that James is ready to listen;” “I appreciate your careful attention;” “It’s great to see such an excellent group of listeners,” “Ronald, f like how you began on the assignment immediately without disturb ing others;” “Great job of entering the room so quietly;” or “I like the way you’re sitting down at your desks ready to listen without being told.” This type of reinforcement repeated often enough has a major impact on what children expect from themselves. When p o s itiv e b e h a v io r s a re emphasized students begin to think in terms of, “I ’m a good listener,” “I’m a responsible person Who can be trusted;” “I ’m a person who makes friends easily;” “I’m a person who enjoys helping others.” A seed has been planted and the child's expectations of himself begins to change followed by much more positive behaviors. Warm Springs Elementary school has many well-behaved, intelligent and responsible students. The reason for this is that our student’s expectations of them selves a re being changed. We are proud of our students and the progress they are m aking in term s of responsibility, behavior and academics. They are tremen dous.
