Landrum's own Teacher of the Year, Coach Louis, stated it best on Twitter when she posted, "Educating the "whole child" means we have to care about more than just their academic success". I couldn't agree more.
Teachers at Landrum (and I'm sure I could speak for all SBISD educators) are not satisfied if our students do not love to come to school and learn everyday. We strive to make sure that LMS is a place where students feel cared for, safe, and appreciated. We are in this together. Landrum is not the same with students missing. We need them to come to school and be active participants in order for us to reach our potential. I can honestly say, I don't know if ALL of our kiddos know and believe that. It's our job to make sure they do.
Making sure 100% of our students know and believe this is not an easy task but we have to try. We have to believe it's possible. From now until the rest of the year, LMS Teen Leadership gang hopes to come up with more ways to spread kindness. I couldn't be more proud of our kids. It's all because of them that I know LMS can make a change in our students and within our community.
To those reading, feel free to join us in spreading kindness in our schools! Use #RandomActsOfKindness and #LionsChooseLove on social media!
Yes!!!! I’m so happy to see the positivity being spread!
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about the Teen Leadership Gang. Is this a real thing? It sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making your school the place to be. I remember when my eldest was little a friend and I were talking about having pools. I said I never wanted to have one, and she said she did because that meant your house was the cool house and all the kids would want to hang out there - then you could keep your eyes on them. That's true with school too. We do have to make school the place to be - and y'all are making it happen. It is a hard culture to fight against, especially with angsty middle schoolers - but thanks for fighting the hard fight.
Spreading kindness... "We have to believe it's possible." I wish I could grant more positive experiences to all kids. I love the the impact this will have on students!
