Scavenger Hunt v. Treasure Hunt
I am new, too, to New Faculty-Staff Orientation week. This is my first year as Dean of Faculty and first year working with a very talented team of instructional and digital coaches to create a meaningful orientation week. This morning was really the culmination of a 7 month scavenger hunt for Flint Hill. We looked high and low for you guys. We had leads, clues, contacts to help us find you. But somehow scavenger hunt doesn't quite express it for me. It was really a treasure hunt - finding educators who are engaged in learning, willing to jump in, working in groups to achieve a goal. Here's to a new school year and a great week and beyond learning about Flint Hill.

What a wonderful analogy. We sure do have some great treasures here that you found for us!

ReplyDeleteEmily, What a great analogy-Treasure Hunt. I feel that I have found a treasure as well in Flint Hill. Thanks for putting in so much time and energy to make our welcome warm and relevant.
