Every now and then it's nice to get recognized for the hard work you do. That very thing happened for two of our hardest working teachers. Mrs. Hari and Mrs. Hargrove and I were asked to present the Enrichment/Tutorial program the teachers have created and implemented this year with the guidance of Dr. Pat Davenport. This process, a board supported goal to improve achievement throughout the district, has really caught fire here at RBJSHS. We have had other school districts from the county come to visit to observe how the teachers are putting it into place, received a wonderful write-up in the South Bend Tribune about it, and now we have presented at the Michigan Department of Education Spring School Improvement Conference. We must be doing something right! Soon I will be able to post a PowerPoint to show you how we have improved in just one year. The the best teachers and the best community doing what's best for the best students. Quite simply, I am privileged and grateful to be a part of it.
