News and Notes for East Middle Faculty & Staff
Do we know how lucky we are to have Amanda Gift on our team?
Our Amanda got a shout out from Dr. Neihof in his Principal Points this week. Reading him describe her work just reminded me of how lucky we are to have her as our coach. I am always so excited to hear your "a-ha" moments when you have had a planning or reflecting conversation with her. We are a coaching culture at East Middle!!!

If you try this with students, please let me know how it goes.
