We set aside about 45 minutes to an hour after school each Wednesday for our staff meetings. Sometimes we meet as an entire staff; sometimes we break into small groups that we call Levels ( K-2nd, 3rd -5th, 6th-8th, and Specials). Today was a Level Meeting Day. I stopped by each of the four meetings to visit with the teachers and listen to their discussions. As I sit and reflect on this experience, I realize that there were some consistent threads that were woven through all of their discussions. Most importantly I heard all of the teachers expressing their care and concern for the children at Holy Cross. This may have come through as they spoke of a specific learning issue or as they spoke of how we might address a more global situation. What is foremost in their minds is what is best for our students and our school. It is such an honor and privilege to work with this dedicated group of educators. They are a true blessing to Holy Cross School.
