Physical safety is important, but so is emotional safety. To feel emotionally safe, students need supportive relationships, the key to better learning experiences for all students. That’s why we place such importance on the processes of Capturing Kids’ Hearts. From door greetings, to sharing Good Things, to social contracts, we value creating positive learning environments. #CKH
October is #NationalPrincipalsMonth. All month long, we’re celebrating our amazing principals at each of our schools.
Tami K. Edwards has been the learning leader at Collegeville Elementary for four years. She loves being a principal because she loves kids. “My favorite thing about being a principal is sharing my passion for students and helping them see education as their ticket to a better life. I also enjoy supporting teachers so they can be equipped to help students be successful,” says Mrs. Edwards.
FUN FACT:
Mrs. Edwards loves to dance! Until she moved to Bryant, she enjoyed being a certified Jazzercise instructor for almost 10 years.
