Washington Elementary School District’s Post

With the sunsetting on summer, we hope the SPARC, Summer Programs and Auxiliary Revenue Collaborative members are finding some time to rest before the 24-25 school year begins! Cheers to a few days off after summer programs end! 😎 #IndependentSchools #SummerPrograms #AuxiliaryPrograms #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment

We need a collective commitment to prevention of incidents like today's school shooting at Apalachee High School. If we are to raise a generation that can realize their full potential and achieve their dreams, we must teach the foundational skills to manage life circumstances without resorting to violence, and to handle conflicts with reason while seeking out trusted adults when in need. Parents, students, and educators deserve better - end the fear. #schoolsafety #stoptheshooting #zeroincidents

“My Mummy works in a school, but she's not a teacher” – my daughter, aged 7. This got me thinking, how do I explain to my 7-and 4-year-old what I do? Answer Attempt #1: Mummy is a Storyteller. Pretty accurate, right? One aspect of my role is having the responsibility of capturing and sharing the essence of my schools through narratives, experiences, and moments. Together with my team, we weave stories of our students, staff, and the school itself, highlighting achievements, challenges, and aspirations. And through storytelling, we bring life to the values, culture, and identity of our school, helping others to understand and connect with what makes us special. It's about painting a vivid picture of who we are and the impact we have, one story at a time. That’s why I am incredibly proud to share the launch our Create Your Story campaign, where authenticity became the guiding principle of our brief. Too often, we see marketing efforts focus solely on showcasing facilities, products or numbers neglecting the authentic stories that breathe life into statistics. Our mission was clear: show, don't tell. Go take a look, let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/ecYQUgNk #CreateYourStory #BrandStory #CreativeCampaigns #StrategicStorytelling
