The CADI Wolf!

"If you don't want to "sweat the small stuff," it's critical that you choose your battles wisely. If you do, there will come a time when you'll rarely feel the need to battle at all"

--- excerpt from Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...It's all Small Stuff by Richard Carlson

At OIC-CADI, we inspire and challenge the over-age, under-credited population of Philadelphia to gain 21st Century and valuable life skills to graduate with a foundation to thrive in today’s global society.

Every week I will continue to shout out teachers or staff that exemplify the CADI mission.

A few weeks ago, CADI had an Operational Walkthrough. Operational and Instructional staff stepped up to the plate and we stood together as a team. We ended the walkthrough with a vast amount of feedback and valuable information to make our school a better learning community for our students. So this shout-out goes to the entire CADI team for your unwavering commitment. I see you. Thank you, CADI Staff, for your dedication and commitment to the students of CADI.
