Day 3 of PPS Leadership Institute. This morning we had the privilege of learning from robert marzano. #PPSTogether

A great way to end our Leadership Institute. Today we heard from the most important people in our district, our students! We also heard inspiring messages from Governor Kate Brown and @Super_GGuerrero. #StrongerTogether

The eagerness in their eyes, the excitement to see their friends, anxiety to meet new teachers and the heat all made this the first day of school at CSS! #ppsconnect #creativescienceschool

Our first school assembly today! Creative science is the place to be.

Thank you Jonathan García for organizing PPS Student Speakers! Having the opportunity to hear their voices this morning is such a gift. #ppsstrongertogether #onedistrict #StudentVoice #RealTalk

Great leaders don't set out to be a leader, they set out to make a difference. It's never about the role, always about the goal.

I was able to learn the rules of Gaga at recess today and hear a story during library with these first graders. #Creativescienceschool #ppsstrongertogether

Tomorrow we have our Creative Arts Run. This fundraiser gives our students the opportunity to work with Grow Portland. "Today we ate cucumbers, planted, dug and sorted seeds." - Cooper, 2nd grader #CSS #PortlandPublicSchools #ppsstrongertogether

It was a beautiful day for National Walk and Bike to School Day! #CSS

I think our kids were a little excited about our new recess equipment.

Today in 3rd grade PE with Creative Science students are working on their soccer skills! They're having fun while learning important fundamentals.

The ❄️ may have changed our meeting location, but it couldn’t contain the 🔥🔥 conversations, thinking, and strategizing the MS working group engaged in tonight! It takes passion to rethink and redesign a system. Thank you Meisha Plotzke for you leadership. #ForwardTogether
