On a recent blog post, @JohnWink90 declared April 11 as
#LoveMySchoolDay and challenged others to share through social media what they
love about their school. I passed along
the challenge to our faculty and students to speak about all the good going on
at our school.
Some of
my colleagues have shared:
“Here is what I love: smiling math teachers coming in
feeling good about the test!!!!”
“I love that we are a family at BCCS. Our school environment is positive, safe and
nurturing. It’s a great place to come
each day.”
Here’s a sampling of what
some of our students shared:
“Our teachers have taught us well this year.”
“If we need help, we
can ask any teacher here.”
“We get to wear uniforms instead of whatever.”
“I love that we got new buildings for middle and high
school.”
“I love that the teachers will take time out of the day to
make sure you know what you need to know.”
“My study skills class!”
“I love Mrs. Jennifer
and all that she has helped me with during the years.”
“I love how close-knit our school is and how everyone is
always so supportive when something happens to one of our Blazer families.”
“The freedom that students have to show their own
personality.”
“Mrs. Rackley is just a great teacher with a wonderful
personality.”
“The teachers’ attitudes towards the students; they actually
care about the students.”
“I love how small it is.”
“The dedicated teachers and faculty at our school.
Specifically, Mrs. Luke. I don’t know of
many teachers who would return after officially retiring to teach again.”
“How small the school is, and that everyone is like your
family, especially the teachers.”
“I love Mrs. Luke because she truly cares about her
students. She helps us with any problems
in life.”
“Having a small enough school that everyone knows everyone
else.”
“Because the school is small, anyone who wants to
participate on a team is able to (isn't eliminated by try-outs).”
“The personal interaction between faculty and students, and
the relaxed atmosphere.”
Here are some things
I love about our school:
*We are small enough to feel like a family, and large enough
to serve our students’ needs.
*We encourage parent volunteerism in every aspect of our
school.
*Our people love kids, and our students know every person
here cares about them.
*Our students are regular and generous charitable
contributors, collecting money for a classmate whose home burned, for faculty
members experiencing extreme medical costs, for kids whose families cannot buy
Christmas gifts…
*Our kids have learned how to lose and how to win. Winning is
so much more fun, especially state championships, like Academic Team and Girls
Tennis.
*My commute, when I’m on time or early, is less than 2
minutes; when I’m running late and getting stuck in morning traffic, it’s only 8
minutes. I love the small town location.
*I love how quickly our students will volunteer to do a
chore when asked.
*Everyone multi-tasks to enhance the school experience for
students – teaching, coaching, sponsoring clubs, fundraising …
*My colleagues
*& that at least one colleague has joined Twitter today!
