Karin pushes issues forward

Steller Principal Karin Parker has called a meeting Thursday, April 26, at 6:30pm to begin implimenting the ideas developed by RenewSteller and Steller's stragetic plan. We will be meeting to prepare on Monday, April 23, at 3:30pm.The agenda, as Karin explained in her recent Steller Yeller article, focuses on three major themes: orientation, staff development and counseling groups. Each of these theme areas has a lot of individual tasks attached to it. For example, the staff has been working on the counseling group area, which includes academics, service, discussion of issues, bonding, representation, and student leadership. Each of those topics involves various initiatives. We hope enough people will attend the meeting so that we can break into groups to work on the sub-issues. Karin has also been working with a group of students who are interested in being involved.I've met several times with Karin to work on setting up these meetings, and I'm really excited about her leadership. Karin is trying to bring the school community together to work on the goals that we've raised. Her agenda is ambitious and it will take the support of the whole school community to make it happen.Leaders are needed. Those who can help can please contact me or Karin. The April 23rd meeting will be the chance to agree on how we go forward, and the April 27 meeting is to start making things happen.
