School Spirit/Culture

Each month we have incredible track off assemblies. Each one focuses around the Life Skill (character trait) of the month. Our music teacher, Silver, has an amazing connection with the students and discusses the trait with them all month. At the end of the month all the students have learned a new song related to the trait. I am amazed each month at the energy created at these assemblies. Last Friday we had 85 chairs out for families and teachers - only 6 were empty. They are part of our culture and what brings us together as a school. Silver is the instrument that drives these assemblies - which drives our culture and spirit. The student, staff and families look forward to these each month. Most importantly, we are identifying who we are as a new school, what we value, what we appreciate, what we want to be. I love working with such incredible individuals who bring out the best in each other. The kids are amazing and surprise me every day! How lucky I am to be part of such an amazing place!
