The Night Before

This evening I toured every single classroom of my incredible school. There are no words to adequately describe what I saw. I work with the best there is. Hands down. My extraordinary teachers have created the most engaging learning environments for students. I just stood in every room with my mouth hanging open. There are no luckier students or principal for that matter...

Orientation!!

Didn't realize quite how much I missed the kids until I saw their precious smiles and heard the WHOAS as they entered school for Orientation and saw what the new theme is for the year. It was an amazing day!

The Walk

Tonight before I left school KK and I did the walk...the one we always take the night before Orientation to take care of all the "bits and pieces" that end up in strange places around the school. It's always funny to find a random chair or broom stuck in the strangest place. Tonight was different, I was pushing a stroller with my two year old in it. She only flipped out when we had to ride in the elevator. Even she knows that's an iffy experience! The hallways look amazing! My incredible teachers have outdone themselves creating the most welcoming environments for students. I lost count of the teachers I saw hours after the end of their paid work day attending to the finishing touches.  I am constantly reminded about how extraordinary this group of people are. Their dedication and talent amazes me. It was a walk to remember...

1275

Enrollment is a delicate balance between class size requirements and budget. Today we hit 1275. 1280 was my "safe" number for meeting budget. After 13 years of working on budget I just KNOW. I predict 1300...the more the merrier.

First Day!

It was WILD but WONDERFUL to spend the day living the Creek Life where we Lead with Heart, Innovate the Core, put Fellowship 1st and Emphasize the +! From Team Intros to the Urban Goose Chase at the Zoo the day was fun! We learned a lot about each other and built TEAMS ready to step out into the WILD!
