Winter Garden
A blog....what the heck, I like it a lot, so thought I'd share!!
I enjoy getting this in my email and take time each weekend to give it a bit of my time. I often want to shop on weekends, so this is occasionally an inspiration to do something else with this precious time we are given!
Salt to the Sea
Please review your timesheet weekly
Please take a moment to look back on your time sheets and determine if you have adjusted your morning routine properly to be on time to work. We now report at 8:00 and I see many arriving after that time. Old habits (8:15) are hard to break, but make adjustments to your routine and your won't feel rushed each morning.
Game Night...November 9th, 2017 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Also, please bring me a game or two that your students would love playing with their parents....can be made or store purchased....not sure how many will show up, so want to have lots of items to put out if we need them!!
LS R-7 seeking volunteers to assist with planning for future school facilities
The Lee’s Summit R-7 School District is seeking volunteers to help district officials update the Comprehensive Facility Master Plan. The CFMP team will plan for:
renovations at existing facilities
new school facilities
enrollment trends impacting our schools
Specifically, the goal of this team is to address the Board of Education’s priority number 2: Ensure equitable access to 21st century learning environments by engaging stakeholders in a process to update the district’s Comprehensive Facility Master Plan to meet the instructional and programming needs of all pre-K-12 students. If the number of volunteers for this team exceeds the number of team members allotted, Lee’s Summit R-7 staff members will determine a selection process that provides for a broad base of representation.
The group will begin meeting during the current school year, with the team’s work possibly continuing into future school years. Volunteers will spend a significant amount of time within team meetings and researching trends in educational facility design. The group will meet primarily in the evenings, however, there may be a need for occasional meetings during the regular work day. If the number of volunteers for this team exceeds the number of team members allotted, Lee’s Summit R-7 staff members will determine a selection process that provides for a broad base of representation.
To express interest in volunteering for this team, please visit this link. For more information, contact Dr. Judy Hedrick at 816.986.1009.
