As the lead learner in the district, I continue to enjoy scheduled visits to each of our schools and spending time beside your children learning and experiencing their everyday life at school. This allows me to celebrate everything that is going on each day thanks to our amazing educators, food service staff, custodial crews and everyone that makes the district operate. Below are a few pictures of our students in action and the opportunities they experience every day.
I also want to leave you with a great quote that our family lives by, that I hope also finds a way to your family. It is what we ultimately want when you have your family talks around the dinner table, during the car ride, at bedtime or whenever you get a moment as a family to slow down, talk and reflect.
“Parents say they want kids to be caring, but pay more attention to achievement. Ironically, kids raised to be kind are more successful in school and work (& happier too). We shouldn’t just ask kids what they accomplished. We should also ask who they helped — and who helped them.” – Adam Grant
