Principal’s Message|
“In a world where routines often dominate our lives, it’s easy to overlook the importance of extraordinary moments—those magical experiences that stay with us forever.”
~Dr. Greg Wells
In his blog, Dr. Greg Wells talks about the importance of “magical moments.” These are special moments that make us feel happy, proud, connected, or inspired. These moments stay in our memories for a long time.
School is a place where many magical moments happen. Students learn new things, make friends, and build strong relationships with their teachers. Sometimes a magical moment is when a student finally understands something that was difficult. Other times it is when a student feels proud of their hard work or shares a meaningful experience with classmates.
School events can also create magical moments. These might include special learning celebrations or thoughtful classroom conversations. These experiences help students feel confident, connected, and proud of themselves. They also help students build resilience and feel that they belong in our school community.
In the coming weeks, we look forward to sharing more magical moments with you as we prepare for our virtual student-led conferences.
If you would like to read more about magical moments, you can visit Dr. Wells’ blog here.
Warm Regards,
Lisa and Jenn
