P is for Pirate
Dave and Shelly Burgess wrote a book which is the Inspirational ABC's for Educators. Every week I will include a snippet from the book.
R IS FOR RETURN
Every day, we are given grace by those who know us best and need us the most. Do not forget to return the grace and offer it to others.

Strategic Planning
Check out the district website for the link to the strategic planning process that is occurring in our district now.
The board developed a new vision statement and then the strategic 30 last Thursday and Friday developed a new mission along with belief statements. The next step is action committees that will develop plans under specific objectives.
