This is a great place to collaborate and get to know each other!
This week's Coach Collaboration post: Last week I had the great opportunity to attend the Title 1 Conference. We talked about recognizing and utilizing our parent's strengths. I am privileged to work with all of you great parents! Please tell me, what are your strengths?
Come see what strengths are being shared and add your own. Don't be shy! Together, we build on each others strengths.
