Up Next: Leadership Day
What about a minute to win it? Let's talk LEADERSHIP!
Did you know:
- We have 21 action teams signed up to show their skills and celebrate their roles during All Hands On Deck rotation in the quad! You dig a visual? Check out the Pirate Posse Action Team in the photo below: they'll be greeting families as they step onto our campus Friday and they'll also have a booth to share more about what they do throughout the year with their peers, parents, and staff.
- Most of ya'll shared on the survey that providing a space for students to meet, showing enthusiasm, and students inviting their peers to join their team were huge factors in helping make action teams meaningful and positive for the kids. Awesome work team!
- Advisory Anchor is looking like a whole lot of student-led CPRs with a few student leaders sharing a little bit about Leadership Day and what that means for them and the school. I CANNOT WAIT for that!
Can you dig it? Can ya'll dig it? Arrrgh you ready?!
