Dear Wayne-Westland Families,
This year, we began a partnership with Capturing Kids Hearts. I had heard of this organization and the positive impact it made on their schools. In May, I attended a two-day training and could easily see why. I could immediately see the potential it had for our students!
What makes Capturing Kids Hearts so powerful? Their mantra is simple: To win students' hearts and lead them to their personal best. This summer, Capturing Kids Hearts facilitators trained teachers, bus drivers, secretaries, and administrators to build meaningful relationships, create safe environments for growth, and develop common expectations.
Through this program, students will have a greater desire to come to school and will feel part of their school community. They will feel a sense of belonging, which will translate to greater academic growth. This has been proven in schools across the nation that have adopted Capturing Kids Hearts. I'm excited to continue to see the progress and impact of this program!
Sincerely,
Catherine Cost, Ed.D.
Superintendent
