Message from the Director
Welcome, bienvenido, dobro pozhalovat! No matter the language, people around the world have a special phrase for welcoming each other. I enjoyed seeing you at our Back to School Workshop and am excited to work together to build a strong 2022-23 around our theme, "Everyone matters." Dr. Vidal-Rodriguez really made me stop and think about things. I know I will work harder to make sure I'm not unintentionally insensitive. It's time to refocus the lens we view our world with as we learn and re-learn to make sure everyone does indeed matter. Thank you all for such a smooth opening week, you are incredible!
With gratitude,
Kathy
Manager's Minute by Nancy Moore
If you ever have been in my office, you probably did NOT notice a very small picture frame sitting on my book case. It holds an old newspaper clipping that reads, “People may hold titles earned through education, merit, appointment, or election, but it doesn’t mean they are better than the stay at home mom down the street or the line cook at the corner restaurant. We all have a place in the world. We all have value. We all have a story.”
Truer words were never written.
I love that our team’s theme this year is EVERYONE MATTERS.
Greet your customers with kindness and give them a smile. They deserve nothing less.
