MFE Principal Notes
from the desk of Allison Hamby
Welcome to your 2015-2016 In-Service at Mimi Farley Elementary!
Teachers,
Ready, Set, Go! The 2015-2016 school year is here, and I have been anxiously waiting your return for another great year at Mimi Farley. Yes I know, you all have been to the building here and there, but there is special synergy that we create when we are all working toward the same goal. Academic Excellence!
I have many new and exiting professional development opportunities to share with you, but the one that I think will bring us all together and put us on common ground is our Leader in Me book study and collaboration. Rhonda and I are excited to share this special find with you, and we feel that the message of the book will resinate with each of us personally and inspire us to spread the message to our students. Our goal is create a common language to discuss academic success with students and develop a positive school culture and character development initiative centered on a positive-self image for every student. ALL means ALL.
The seven habits that are our "KEYS TO SUCCESS."
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind.
3. Put first things first.
4. Think Win-Win!
5. Seek first to understand, then be understood.
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw
I look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow morning, and to begin our new school year together. I hope everyone has had a restful Summer Break and you feel energized for out professional development to kick off tomorrow.
