It is an honor and privilege to serve Worthington City Schools and our Wilson Hill Elementary School Community. As I reflect on my time at Wilson Hill (just over a year) three characteristics that come to mind as I interact with all students, staff and families: CARING, COMMITMENT, CONNECTED!
The first characteristic that I have observed in nearly every situation is caring. The staff, students and families care for one another and all that goes on within Wilson Hill. These caring behaviors are observed daily with our students as they interact with each other. Our children respect and admire one another’s differences, and these behaviors are a direct result of our families modeling caring behaviors for one another. Thank You!!!
The second characteristic that I observed at Wilson Hill is commitment. The Wilson Hill staff is a great example of this quality. They put in countless hours above and beyond what is expected to meet the students’ needs within each classroom. Our Wilson Hill families are equally committed to our school. A great example of this is the number of families that recently attended the Kindergarten Curriculum Night. Our students also amaze me each day as they set learning goals and put forth the effort to reach these goals.
The third characteristic that I observed is how our school community is connected. The families within Wilson Hill communicate with one another often and in different ways which help to make their relationships closer and connected. These student-centered and positive relationships help to support their child, other students and Wilson Hill. A great example of this is how our families created and maintain a Wilson Hill Elementary Facebook page. Thanks for using technology to keep our families connected!
As the school leader beginning my second year, I can’t think of a better place to be than working with the students/staff/families of Wilson Hill Elementary. Our caring, committed, connected climate makes our school a great place to be!
We are new at “blogging” at Wilson Hill, and I hope that this new tool will prove to be a way to communicate new information with families. Stay tuned to the Wilson Hill Blog as we will update it periodically. We will let you know when it is updated.
The 2014-15 school year is going to be a great year at Wilson Hill!
