School Pride Starts In The Principal's Office

We've all caught ourselves saying "the problem with kids today...", but respect is indeed a two way street. Today I visited a York Region school and what should have been a thirty minute meeting lasted over an hour.  I met the Principal, Vice Principal, and office staff and felt the power of respect.   As the Principal showed me around the school the floors were clean, litter almost non-existant and the office staff seemed upbeat.  The Principal explained to me that "the students here are different", yet I couldn't help think it was the Principal that was different.  He didn't tell me about the challenges facing the school or complain about budget instead he focused on the positive.  Applause cards seemed like a perfect fit for the school.  Applause cards are simple ways of recognizing all the great things happening in our schools.  With motivational messages on one side and blank on the back for personal notes we can help administrators recognize people.  Students, teachers and parents that really make a difference. This is a great career and it just keeps getting better. #yearbooksuccess
