The Week Ahead
October 26-30th
Message from Elyse
Thanks for supporting a great Homecoming week and for all of the strong, collaborative work on Friday. Shout out to Cam, Liam, Libby and Matt for modeling instructional strategies for us all. Please consider volunteering in future PD and make note of what's working, what you're excited to share, and what others could benefit from seeing.
Congrats to all who planned, supported and chaperoned various events this weekend. It was joyful to stand back and observe our students growing up before my eyes. So many of them made a point to thank Ms. Fitkin for hosting the dance and took breaks from dancing to visit with Kyle, Keri, Amy and I. These things matter and the connections they have with you all and with each other, matters. Thank you for all of the extras.
"This is the best dance of my high school career," Liam Keifer, LBHS Senior.
Warmly,
Elyse
