Made we wonder about what led in to that (what about that activity? what outreach? their reflections?)]]> 2022-06-21 16:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226966687 Markham Partner/Family Resource Fair https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226967880 I noticed how passionate our partners are about serving the school. They really care about the students and schools and are looking for ways to support. Partners who had interactive activities at their table had the most student engagement. ]]> 2022-06-21 16:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226967880 chavelimontufar https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968138 Many Markham students shared they would not be attending Jordan during the school tour. It made me wonder how can we recruit students earlier.]]> 2022-06-21 16:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968138 Weigand Culmination https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968222 I had the great opportunity to volunteer at Weigand's culmination and was so touched by the excitement parents had as they came in for the ceremony. In a school tour I did notice that there was no green space! Do multiple of our schools face this? -Jeanette]]> 2022-06-21 16:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968222 Joined the Markham tour. Wondering what supports Principal Kawasaki will need and benefit from. Also wondering what will happen to Markham Community Garden. Would be great to see it flourish again. https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968349 2022-06-21 16:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968349 chavelimontufar https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968624 Families were so excited to share their homes with us!]]> 2022-06-21 16:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226968624 Watts schools visits https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969085 I had the opportunity to visit our newest Watts school, Weigand Avenue, and Markham Middle School. I love visiting our schools and hearing from school reps. At Weigand, it was beautiful hearing from Ms. Honegan about what makes Weigand so special in the community and the high school spirit she maintains across her campus. Meeting teachers, parents, and students was incredible.

I was reminded of the resilience and joy of our scholars. I was also re-ignited to ensure many more applying and being accepted to 4 year colleges and universities. The overwhelming majority of students that day were planning to attend CD Tech. https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969114 2022-06-21 16:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969114 The STEAM lab at Jordan is finally on track to get some legs with Principal Kim at the helm. The teacher taking the lead is purchasing equipment and we will be designing a mural soon. https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969206 2022-06-21 16:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969206 It seemed like many Markham students were not excited about attending Jordan, or were choosing not to attend. Curious why students are choosing other pathways & ways to increase interest in attending Jordan. https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969361 2022-06-21 16:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969361 Weingart Performance and Ice Cream erikvaldez https://padlet.com/beccavelasco/3rcsegh9997si60j/wish/2226969963 It was great to see families present for their children's performances and enjoy the afternoon with a refreshing treat. Many families were present and led me to wonder how can we support students with pursuits outside of academics
