Under the guiding principles of our districtwide initiative, the
Positivity Project, the #PositivityInAction mindset is our top priority. These past two weeks we focused on the character strengths of
LEADERSHIP and
FRIENDSHIP.
People with the character strength of leadership value each member of their group and inspire people to do their best.
In celebration of our employees during Employee Appreciation Week, which runs from May 2nd-May 6th, we will recognize the leadership of our Lake Shore staff who go the extra mile and celebrate the people who keep Lake Shore running.
Superintendent Dr. DiPonio said, "I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing educators in my career, but there is a special place in my heart my colleagues and friends at Lake Shore. Makers of miracles everyday, I feel blessed to work alongside and witness the culture of kindness, passion, and devotion each of you have for kids of this community. Words can not describe the depth of appreciation, respect, and admiration I have for you, my fellow Shorians."
Thank you, community businesses, who will recognized Employee Appreciation Week with our branding on their outdoor signs throughout Saint Clair Shores.
Thank you, Shorian Nation community, for your words of affirmation shared on our Padlet in 2021 and will continue to do so this year: http://tinyurl.com/mylspshero. Words were also written and will be shared from our gratitude charity fundraiser, a throwback from November.
Thank you, Wally's and building principals, for your special food deliveries to celebrate our staff later this week. Matt and Eliza Ahearn's custard deliveries and building level's carefully selected luncheons will be delicious!
Thank you, 5th grade elementary students, 8th grade middle school students, and 12th grade high school students, who recognized their favorite staff members with red and white carnations.
Thank you, Management Team, who will be delivered custom Lake Shore Employee of the Year mugs with an EOS gift card tucked inside to recognize their efforts! We also appreciate our LSHS MoCi classes for assembling them with the card, mints, and note!
Dr. DiPonio, Dr. Lewis, and Mrs. Wynkoop delivered Rookie Recognition swag bags to all 30 of our new staff! It is important to us to make all of our staff feel appreciated and valued.
Thank you for all of the extras to make our staff feel special.
People with the character strength of friendship is a relationship of mutual affection, trust, and support between people.
Shorians friendships can be found on the soccer field, inside the classroom, and at the movie theater. Friends bring more happiness into our lives, providing comfort and joy, and should be reminded of their positive impact. This is why several Shorians decided to write a letter to a friend letting him or her know of their impact.
By definition, connectedness is a feeling of belonging to or having affinity with a particular person or group. This connectedness is accomplished through your enrollment in our Shorian Nation. Under the guiding principles of our districtwide initiative, the Positivity Project, the #OtherPeopleMatter mindset is our top priority.
Looking forward, our upcoming character strengths are COMMITMENT (5/15-5/21) and OUTRO WEEK - OTHER PEOPLE MINDSET (5/22-5/28).
