Hard to believe that September is rolling along and that we're in week four of the school year already. Things are looking great. We have a very high-caliber group of students, several of whom are keeping our faculty on their toes by asking deep and thought-provoking questions. And we had a terrific turnout of caring, committed parents at our parent orientation, too. We are making good progress toward our goal of becoming a world-class school!
Our theme for this year is integrity, and we are pursuing that theme in a number of ways that I'll be blogging about over the coming months. Most recently, we've been looking at the idea of edges, and how exploring our edges is the primary way develop our integrity.
One of our teachers, Lisa K. Beck, got to visit her edge the other day when a TV crew showed up in her physics classroom to shoot her receiving the Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award! Turns out, if you are running a school in which students are encouraged to meaningfully explore their edges, the teachers have to walk their talk in that arena as well!
I encourage you to look at the video so you can see this little bit of edge-work for yourself.
