Tips for staff meetings next year. *Streamline them as much as possible. *If it can be emailed, email it, but not after 5:00pm. *If someone can say or do it better, let them lead. *Meetings should serve a purpose, not just for sake of meeting. Have itinerary. * Celebrate success!

Love my family and am proud of my kids.

Today’s family lunch was great. We even played a game after we ate! Polenta Elementary

Great turn out for open media day at Polenta! #polentaproud #wearepolenta

I can’t imagine a better group of people to spend the last two days with planning and dreaming for Polenta. We went through challenges together, established core values, set our Goals and action items for the year. A fun, hard two days. @passionateatpolenta @polentapride

We have the most supportive community! C3 church sent volunteers to weed our beds, pick up trash and power wash the front of the school. Getting ready for school! #teamwork #polentapride

Anything worth doing is done with a team.
