A Message from our Principals:
Principal, Clint Beyer
Associate Principal, Travis Frey
Energy Is Contagious

There’s an energy in the air, and no, we’re not talking about the flu. We’ve all encountered people who make us feel energized, refreshed, and validated. We leave conversations feeling like we’re walking on air. What is it about some people that make us feel so good? 

When we watch our teachers teach, we often focus on what the students are doing and their engagement in the lesson. With a combination of passion, energy, and optimism, we notice our students being magnetically pulled into lessons by an invisible force coming from our teachers. They’re reading and imitating character’s voices, writing and modeling in front of the class, taking positive risks by experimenting with new things, and are infinitely curious about the world. Our teachers hook students into topics they didn’t even realize they were interested in. 

Even with the cold weather holding on and students becoming restless for spring, our staff continues to work through challenges with a smile, inspire learning, and celebrate student success along the way.   

Think back and reflect on the most influential people you’ve ever come across in your life. It’s likely at least a few of them were teachers. What makes this profession so enjoyable is it attracts the most optimistic and contagious personalities in the world.
  
Yours in education!
