At #EakinElementarySchool, mornings begin with energy and connection. Students and staff come together in the gym for announcements, bringing excitement and positivity to start the day.
Recently, all district principals and supervisors were invited to watch this innovative approach in action, recognizing Eakin as a model for the district! 🎉
Every morning ends with a powerful reminder, first said in Spanish and then repeated in English: "I am loved, I am seen, and I am heard." ❤️
And of course, #students affirm: "I am an Eakin Einstein!"✨
More than announcements, this is a daily dose of confidence, pride and inspiration.
