This Week at Churchill/Community Statement

At our opening Institute Day, each Churchill staff member filled out an index card with a statement about what working in the Churchill community means to them. They also wrote down one word with their intention for working at Churchill this year. I’ve summarized those comments in a community statement for Churchill. It is: “We build positive, supportive relationships.” This statement will be on our marquee and in my weekly Churchill Connections, as well as my weekly email to staff.

Every morning we say the Pledge of Allegiance and the Character Counts Pledge together over the intercom before school starts. On Fridays, we share a few funny jokes. This week Mrs. Ixpata and I were in Mr. Struck’s 4th grade classroom.
