A new chapter begins...

We are so blessed to work at such a wonderful school filled with and surrounded by people who will do anything it takes to create successful children in all aspects of their lives. Last school year was a whirlwind... When we finally took the time at the end of the school year to stop and look back at the amazing progress that our school had made, we realized that those little victories sure do add up and we wished that we had documented the journey along the way. Well, it is never too late to start!

It is our intention (and readers, please do feel free to hold us accountable if we are slacking  :) to use this blog to document the victories of College Street Elementary. We would like to go public with the amazing things that are happening in these classrooms, the hard work that our teachers do with planning engaging and relevant lessons for the students, the amazing volunteers and community members who join our ranks with their skills and talents, and the excitement for learning that occurs in a child's heart and shows in their eyes.

As you can see, there is a stop watch at the stop of this screen counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until school starts. This is how we feel about seeing the children in August... it is like counting down until Christmas! We hope that everyone feels the same way. We can't wait to welcome them back into the building and start sharing photos and videos of profound learning and leadership in this blog. Please subscribe to this blog so that you can join us on our journey too!
