Principal's Message...
Monday night, we will be coming together for a collaborative visioning session. Collaboration is when people value coming together, to accomplish a common goal. When teamwork is employed, we all thrive. Voices are heard, passions are ignited and creativity is sparked. I am really looking forward to facilitating this meeting and excited to see what the community envisions.
Please take a look at our agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KcPxQ-Bg8wDuFRUE6lyqjL3lv4alMwwfqr4DuHaCy8Q/edit?usp=sharing
If you are unable to attend, there will be an opportunity for you to complete a Google Form to share your insights/ideas.
As we get ready for this session, please note some of the "ONE word" vision statements submitted last week from our community:
"Opportunity"
"Togetherness"
"Inclusive"
"Community"
"INSPIRING"
"Coherence"
"Bilingualism"
"Excellence"
Have a great week!
Best always,
~Mrs. Komocar
