Everyone has a story!
School isn’t just about learning facts and procedures and times tables and dates in history. School is also an important time for children to learn who THEY are. It is a place for a child to start developing his or her story. At school we want to encourage children to believe they have an interesting story to share. Art teachers guide students to create and share through legacy art projects. Cultural teachers provide stories from elders as models and help children to understand their culture as a way to understand themselves. Counselors help children share how to be friends that can create positive stories. All staff can open up new worlds for children by sharing their own stories and passions. EVERYONE has a story to share that is valuable. Who each child is becoming is an important part of education. Children do love to show you what they know AND who they are. EVERYONE wants to matter and not be forgotten. What’s your child’s story? What’s your story?
