Successful Technology Parent Meeting

What a TEAM! The meeting last night couldn’t have been better…
Laurie was greeting everyone and making sure everyone signed the roster!
Serrano…( not Martinez J) was greeting and explaining to parents in Spanish and English…
Maya interpreted everything in Spanish and, of course, kept the audience mesmerized.
Estelle was running the Activboard and reminding me what to say keeping the meeting ON POINT! Good job!
…Angela kept an eye on all of us as she practiced being an administrator…
Stapley came to set us all up…What an amazing Activboard advocate and teacher he is!…without which we would have had nothing!
The custodians set up the room perfectly and did it twice because the mentors came before our meeting…Thank you Carlotta and your crew!
Mrs. Chai…thank you for always being an advocate and an inspiration! To me that’s a great leader!
Without Bill’s advice and guidance yesterday, we couldn’t have pulled the whole thing off! Thanks for the advice to make decisions in person and get information online! That was advice to be used in all negotiations, I think…Technology is good, but never replaces face to face humans!
I am so proud and happy and content to work with so many inspired advocates for kids. It is truly a pleasure!
AND…we had 86 families…with both parents attending in many cases…and with their kids! There was standing room only! Karen Justl, our district coordinator for the grant, was very impressed. It was so good to have her there with her smiling face and helpful ways.

WAY TO GO TEAM!!!! HURRAH!!!! We are ON OUR WAY!!! (cw)

  1. And you, my dear, did an awesome job of not only spending your whole past Sunday creating the flipchart, but your thorough presentation with your outgoing style made all parents feel so welcome and in the loop. Thank you for an outstanding performance, Christa.
