Principal’s Hello

Dear Golden Eagle Families,

Happy Friday!

In January, when we come back, we’re going to be standing on the front curb in the mornings, asking folks to pull all the way forward. This should really help with our minor traffic jam that we create every morning. It seems that our old plastic sign asking folks to pull forward is just not doing the job on its own.

We had a great spirit week this week. So many students and staff dressed up. This kind of thing might seem silly, and of course it’s not our sole focus, but it does create a fun and positive school culture, the kind of place where you trust adults, treat your peers well, and learn some cool things along the way.

Finally, this week, we welcomed the founder and CEO of Wayfinder, the curriculum we use for Advisory. He observed a lesson and loved what he saw. He said that our school and district are doing amazing work.

Have a great two-week break, everyone! Please enjoy this magical holiday time with your families!

Sean

Ms. Harms’ band and orchestra students performed for us yesterday. Great job and thank you for sharing.
