Suwanee Express Special Edition
Professional Development 9/17/2019
I love the movie Wizard of Oz. The story reminds us that we need a lot of heart, courage, encouragement, and teamwork to reach our goals. Along the way, we gather the tools we need to be successful, and the people we meet along the way become our true champions.
On Tuesday, we will actively engage in a professional learning designed to support our Local Plan of Improvement goal that focuses on strengthening our Reading instruction. How do we pull together all of the great resources and Literacy strategies developed in our studies and teaching background to build an unstoppable Literacy program at Suwanee? I am excited about learning beside you and supporting each of you as we continue to serve our amazing students! Please read some details below to prepare.
Your Proud Principal,
