On a day as nice as this, it is
hard to stay focused inside; however, the staff at Walton has done a great job
taking care of business today. Two weeks ago, you found have found me playing
in the Tye River on a day as nice as this. Even as adults, readjusting to school
schedules can be difficult, so we know our parents and students have some
interesting days ahead as school schedules start to return. That said, we need our students back! The building has had a few student visitors today, and it reminds you how much life they bring to the building.
So, what has been going on at
Walton today? Short answer: A lot! We had a great visit from Mr. Steve Koleszar
and Dr. Matt Haas this morning which was both inspirational and purposeful. A
few nuts and bolts meetings this morning as administration set the tone for the
year. The afternoon was mostly meeting-based, so as one of the new guys in the
building, it was great to see how the different departments interact with one
another. What I have seen in the first two days is that we
have a staff here dedicated to enriching students’ lives. The ideas that have
been tossed around thus far for interesting and fun activities to engage student
learning has me very excited for the next few days/weeks/months that lay ahead.
Seeing this staff generate ideas to help achieve student success for all
students has been very motivating.
Tomorrow night is the Open House
for students and parents from 4 PM to 6 PM. I cannot wait to start meeting
everyone. There are a lot of great things happening here and we cannot wait for
the students to come back. We hope you all enjoy your last week of summer
break. Seven days until school and we are thrilled to get back to work!
