As I sit here unwinding from the day, reflecting on the work done the past few months to get school ready as well as what lies ahead of us tomorrow, I am awed by the sense of pride I have in our community. Our staff has worked tirelessly to get the school ready. Classrooms are arranged, the building has been prepped, and lessons are designed to promote academic and social growth. Parents have communicated with the school. Forms have been submitted, supplies purchased, and bus routes analyzed. Our students have grown over the summer. Socially they have matured. Academically they have read books and experienced new things that have helped develop ideas. As a school, I am proud of where we are today and amazed by the growth we have covered over the last 365 days.
Our theme for the year is "Partners in our Educational Adventure". The theme itself is wide open as far as how it applies but one thing is very clear, it is a partnership between home and school. Parents working with students working with teachers all coming together to make the most of the opportunities in front of us this year.
One of the projects I am starting this year to support this idea of partnerships in learning is this blog. Each school day, in the evening, I will post one entry of one thing someone has learned during the day. I will seek out different authors each day including teachers, watchdogs, staff, parents, volunteers, bus drivers, students, and visitors to our school. At times, depending on the author, the delivery may change. We may include some video blogging opportunities or even some video interviews. The topic is what we make it and by inviting multiple authors, I am hoping the variety and voice will keep it interesting With that said, if you would like to contribute to this blog, shoot me an email at Brian_Campos@ccpsnet.net or make a comment in the comments section.
Thanks for all your support over the last year. I am eager to see what we learn this school year and where our educational adventure takes us. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Please give me some feedback as this develops.
