Celebrating All that is Right
This past week was hard, it was complex and it was REWARDING! Whether you are celebrating a student who tentatively leaned in, shared their growth mindset and said, "I'm trying it" or parent/teacher partnerships that were built upon a strong foundation, or students who are extending their day, their stamina, and their joy, or you completed your first week in West Linn Wilsonville with perseverance and grit, there is so much to celebrate. We are so glad you are here.
This week we would like to highlight a dynamic team at Wilsonville High School. Melissa Swagerty, paraeducator and Jill Citro, learning specialist, led some powerful work when they listened carefully to a student. These two educators accessed prior knowledge of a student to know that she has a love and passion for playing and studying the piano. As the student transitioned to high school and was learning new routines, they recognized her need for agency and input in her experiences. They quickly collaborated with Nollie Strohmaier, Assistant Principal, and Kelly Schmidt, Principal, to establish a time and space where the student could share her expertise. This quick collaboration allowed everyone new and known to the student to get to know her, her strengths and her voice. What a mighty way to start the year, Wilsonville Team!
Thursday is National Physical Therapist Day!
These TWO powerhouse physical therapists support our teams and students with a level of professional expertise, ease of multi-disciplinary collaboration, and individual student knowledge and history that is unparalleled.
A huge shout out to
CHRIS JONES & BALJIT JOHL!!
All of the respect for an incredible colleague - Maria Swanson
