Together, we can get things done

“Only by rediscovering what it means to commit ourselves to acts of service will…demands be met. Each of us needs to feel the organization is ours to create if any shift is to take place in how customers are served, students are taught, patients are healed.” (Block, 1993, p. 21).
I acknowledge the fact that I am serving in this capacity for a short period of time. Regardless of how long or short that period is, given all that has transpired in the West Bonner County School District 83, the last eighteen months, I am committed to doing my very best in all I do.
The continued development of my belief in the abilities of others to create a school community is the basis for my work. This development needs to be continual as the dynamics of life constantly put us in contact with different people and experiences. What I choose to do with these experiences further develops me as someone who cares enough to find the value in all those I work with and for, whether they are student, parent, trustee, staff or patron. Therefore, the active pursuit of finding, sharing and celebrating the value of others allows us to realize our own level of importance, gain confidence in ourselves and those around us, and ultimately make a sincere commitment to service. This commitment to service must be demonstrated by a willingness to be accountable to some larger body than us – the education of our children.
