About Me: Currently I am an elementary principal in a k-6 building. I love teaching and miss the classroom. However, my position gives me the opportunity to be present and involved in more classrooms working with outstanding teachers and terrific kids.

The first few days have been exciting as I to watch small changes taking place in the student's attitudes. We are truly trying to develop leaders, "one child at a time". I am glad this springboards into what is happening at West Middle. It will be intriguing to watch this develop over the new few years.

It fits very nicely with the Habits of the Mind work we are doing at West Middle. It gave me a great way to connect your good work to our mission. As a matter of fact, during a work session with our teachers one group wrote a vision statement that said..."Our school's vision is to guide our students along a journey towards achieving primary greatness." Sounds a lot like Covey!

This week will be a blur for all of us, I am sure. I'd like to try to set up a time for us to meet to review your progress with Leader and summer school. Maybe Thursday or Friday??

I was wondering if you had any 2ndary education contacts who would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get NY students involved. Please let me know. Thanks!
