And so, another year is up and running. We spent the summer studying results for previous projects, interviewing for open positions, strategizing how to stay on top of our game.
On Tuesday, September 2, 2008, over 3000 kids entered one of our 6 buildings and didn't care about all of that work. They cared about finding their classroom(s), seeing someone that they knew and making it through the first day!
No one noticed that the floors were polished over and over again to an icy sheen or that the bulletin boards reached out to them with messages of WELCOME! No one could tell that so much time had been spent making sure that the kids were placed in just the right classes with just the right groups or that teachers were hired with just the right characteristics.
No one noticed. Or did they? They left after the first week with smiles on their faces! The hairdresser said "My kids LOVE the Middle School!" The sentiment was echoed in other places as well from unsuspecting parents. The kids are happy to be back to school!
Congratulations! Job well done!
