One Word…EVERY!

Our "One Word" rock. A few years ago, my wife & I started encouraging each of our children to prayerfully pick their "word for the year". One Word is an exercise created by author Jon Gordon. Once everyone has their word, we discuss, write them on a large rock & keep it visible..

🗣️ " ONE WORD that you say literally could change the course of their life." Jon Gordon provides a powerful message to coaches reminding them of the opportunity they have everyday to make an impact on the lives of people they come in contact with.

Word study ✔️ Shared reading ✔️ Read alouds w/Accountable talk ✔️ Mini-lessons ✔️ Writing ✔️ Our Reading PD was packed with literacy learning! 📚💡 We wrapped up with One Word for Kids and created our “one word” to make 2025 our best year yet! 🌟 #OneWord #LiteracyStrong

Each year our Washington Schools leaders reflect on their one leadership word commitment for the year. This year, we make Cairns to remind us of our collective leadership strength, collaboration, love, & commitment for the year ahead. 🪨 💙🤩 Jon Gordon #BlueJayPRIDE #OneWord

One Word…BELIEVE! Do you BELIEVE this year was different because of your #OneWord ? If so, how?

Everything changes when we live our One Word with a deep conviction that our gifts, talents and skills come from God alone. Let’s be eternally grateful and never take it for granted. Living life with outrageous gratitude and thanksgiving infuses life into the lives of others.

We have 1 month left in 2025 — only 31 days to live our One Word with power, purpose and passion. Remember, there's a difference between quitting and finishing; one is stopping when we are done, the other is stopping when the job is done. Let’s finish well!
