If I have to be at work for 12+ hours, there is no place I’d rather be than with all of you. I had the pleasure of being in lots of conferences with many of you. I am beyond amazed at your level of professionalism and your commitment to serving our students and their families. I almost forgot that we started our Wednesday with a Site Visit in which educators from as far away as Michigan and as close as Upper Arlington came to see the amazing things you do each day. I love Site Visits because they force me to slow down and think about our practice, our purpose and the systems we have in place. After Wednesday’s visit Jim, Lisa, Jeff, Tasha and I were trying to figure out a better way to explain to people how we have arrived at where we are right now. Jim said it best, “it comes down to our culture.” Everything we achieve has to do the fact the our arrows are aligned, we know our why, we do the work, we don’t complain, we are disciplined and we are a team. Like I said in my post from last week, we root for each other and we support each other. I saw that time and time again on Wednesday. From the Site Visit at 9:15 am to Parent Teacher Conferences that ended at 8:15 pm Jim’s realization was proven over and over again. So, thank you! Thank you for making a 12+ hour work day so enjoyable!
