September Character Trait: RESPECT
People over programs.
People over data.
People over protocols.
People over everything.
When we intentionally decide to make people our focus, everything else changes. - Aj Juliani
Deerfield Birthday Week! Celebrate!
Wednesday—Gather on the lawn at 8:10 to “build” our human “50”! Madeline H. will send out exact instructions next week on the forming of the number, and where to assemble. We will need to take the angle/glare of the sun into account when planning which lawn to gather.
Thursday—Wear your 60’s clothes—tie dye, leather, headbands, sandals, flip flops, hats and more!
Friday-Spirit Day! Wear the new Deerfield 50th anniversary tee-shirt or another DF shirt!
