Our Promise

It's a Feeling Thing!
I hope you had a great weekend!
This past week was busy but a great kickoff to our Character Strong program! It was great to have Alex and Justin in our building to help guide and motivate our kids and staff! I am constantly reminded of the work that you all do to create a positive school environment for kids and staff. When people visit they get a sense of this and comment on how they get a good feeling about our school. This past week, our visitors both mentioned how they got a feeling of caring from our school.
As we progressed through our training on Friday, I found myself thinking a lot about the three areas that contribute to the success of program implementation: CLARITY, COMPETENCE, AND CONSISTENCY all of which are in our control. I am confident we can keep these things in perspective and continue to grow in all three areas. I look forward to what's next!
I wish all could have been there, but our work continued and am thankful for the planning efforts of Kayce and the rest of our team! This was a great kickoff and I am looking forward to our next steps.
Glad you're here!
Check out these great ideas on Kindness and Character!
