We are hopeful that you have noticed that we are very intentional this year about creating a "Christ Centered Culture of Joy." We greet all students by name in a warm and friendly manner from the minute they get out of your car, at the door, and even at their classroom doors.

We have been working towards a more restorative positive classroom management model rather than a punitive one.

We work to celebrate the work of the students and the work of our faculty and staff. Our halls are adorned with their beautiful work, whether it be poetry, visual art, or our school's IReady growth.

In remaining true to our "Christ Centered Culture of Joy" we will be beginning monthly morning assemblies. The morning assemblies will focus on our newly created "Root Beliefs." Root beliefs are our statements of conviction that express truths about our community. We believe that when children engage in shared root beliefs, they are in turn grounded in their faith everyday. We want to develop positive habits that become virtues for life.

Our first root belief we will introduce to our students is "Jesus calls us each by name." We believe Jesus calls us each by name. He loves us, He chose, us, and He accepts us. We are special. We are his masterpiece. We will ask the students to reflect on how their eyes can become more open to Jesus. We will also remind the children the next they may be sad to pause and remember that Jesus knows and calls them by name. We want them reflect on that and stand tall because Jesus is calling us.
