Director Tidbits - February 2017
Equipping Directors in the South Sound
Be Creative in Building Community
I saw the following post on FB - I thought it was such a great idea! You could tweak it to do it in a Challenge Program.
"Today we had our annual "Dads and Donuts" day at CC. It was a huge hit. There were 15 dads in attendance and the kids loved it. Everyone came at 9:00 and ate donuts until 9:15. I did a shortened assembly time and let the kids show their dad the classrooms. It was so precious hearing all the conversations. I had several dads come up and praise CC and what we are doing in our community. If you haven't done a "dad's and donuts" day I want to strongly encourage you to add one. It was a perfect day."
Challenge Equipping: Accountability
Do the students in your class know you LOVE them? That you think who they are is valuable?? That what they bring to class is valuable? An integral part of the 'accountability' portion of a director's job is to help the kid WANT to be accountable. And how much more will they want to be accountable if they know for sure that you appreciate what they bring to class??
What can you do in community THIS WEEK to show how much you value each student??

Foundations & Essentials
has someone who sends out a weekly e-mail on her behalf. The volunteer takes notes in opening and sends out a recap and then announcements of who has recess duty the next week, etc. She even said that the lady will pass on wishes, like Thanksgiving wishes, etc. on behalf of the director in that e-mail, too.
Need F & E Tutor Trainers
You can approach them first, or you can just send me their information and I can contact them myself.
Thanks!

My greatest desire is to build strong communities that empower parents, encourage students, and help families know God and Make him known! I will do my part to reach out to you to offer support, training, and resources, but I hope you will come to me for support and encouragement as well.
