On Tuesday, I spoke at the Board of Supervisors meeting in Willows, along with Board Member, Yolanda Martinez, and community business owner, Pat Heitkum, regarding the flashing speed limit radar signs. While we still have some kinks to iron out, it is the expectation that the signs will be up and running by Christmas Break. Looks like 2015 will be the year of the signs!
At the weekly teacher meeting on Wednesday, teachers received a complimentary book, Essential Questions: Opening Doors to Student Understanding, authors Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins. We will be involved in a book study together learning what an essential question is and how it is different than other kinds of questions we ask in classrooms. Excited about this book study group!
On Friday, the word of the month, FAIRNESS, was introduced at the monthly assembly. Student Council members led the assembly that recognized Students of the Month, Panther Pride, as well as Lake Panthers who are participating in local football and cheer/dance teams.
Whew, what a week. Here's what next week looks like through my lens.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.
