Kids Deserve It! Chapter Thirty: Final Thoughts
Let's face it: learning can be tough to figure out! :) We've successfully ventured through Kids Deserve It over the past seven months together. Time now to reflect! What changes have you made in your daily practice that you may not have even considered not so long ago? How have you started conversations, pushed boundaries, challenged the status quo, and connected with others both inside and outside our Richmond Elementary doors? We here at Richmond Elementary pride ourselves in doing what's best for kids. Hands down. What is your plan to reach out to your High Fives as we bridge this month of kindness with our final tri of the school year? What can I do to support you and how can we support each other? Bring your ideas to advisory Tuesday. We CAN make a difference. Our kids need ALL of us fighting for them. Now is our time. Why? Our Kids Deserve It! #spartansbelivespartansachieve
