I want students to have skills that will help them through the pressures of high school. I want them to be able to listen to their needs (mental health), have a love for learning, and care about their fellow peers. I hope they still have the curiosity for learning that they came to Cadence Park with.

Students should have an idea of what their strengths and interests are and should strive to continually nurture their passion. Students should develop an ability to persevere through any difficult tasks that life may throw their way. They should leave with an understanding that it's okay to make mistakes and that it's a part of the learning process. With hard work, grit, and perseverance anything is possible.

When I think of vision I think of what you see. The idea of where the students will be comes with their visible actions. The vision of the school should be apparent to outsiders by how teachers and students demonstrate the values of the school.

I want students to feel a deeper love for our Earth and a determination to take care of it.

When I think of the difference between a mission statement and a vision statement, it helps me to think of them both in car terms. A mission statement is similar to the initial and necessary tools to get the car up and running. For example, you need to turn the car on, put the car in the desired gear, get the A/C going, etc. A vision statement is inputting the correct and desired destination in your GPS. Both features are essential for a successful and enjoyable ride, but serve different purposes.
