Teacher Excellence Day, with Gratitude, We Thank You!

“From Strength to Strength”… With our Teacher Excellence Day 2014 now in the rear view mirror, and as we anticipate next year, we ask you to complete an electronic survey to identify what you appreciated about the day and how we can grow: Electronic survey. The clock hour form will be sent to each principal to be distributed at each school site.

With gratitude, we thank…
• Fr. Rowan, who in his Keynote Address, offered us all renewed hope and insight into the Strategic Plan and the particular impact the goals will have on the lives of teachers. He hands the reigns over to Dr. Patrick Haggerty who begins his ministry as Superintendent today!
• Bishop Blanchet and Bellarmine Prep administration, students, faculty and staff. They are the ones who made it happen with wholehearted effort and grace! Specifically, the facilities, tech and student support at each school – truly, this was a symphony of hard work!
• The many skilled teacher presenters, who offered us their wisdom and opened an opportunity for new depth of sharing among schools!
• The facilitators for the Articulation Session. Our ELA Committee members now have all the sample papers and your notes to help us craft next year’s writing exercise.
• The staffs in the Office for Catholic Schools and Fulcrum Foundation for their hard work and awesome support.
• The TED planning committee: Mary Helen Bever, Cindy Davis, Patrick Fennessy, Sheila Kries, Karen Matthews, Bernadette O’Leary, Margy Pepper, Sandra Barton Smith, and Lisa O’Leary, and Kristin Dixon.
