Dear Parents and Students,
I am so thankful to be a member of the teaching staff here at the Leland Street STEAM Academy and Global Awareness Magnet Center. I feel blessed to be working with such a hardworking staff, dedicated teachers, and a great administration team that cares deeply about the students and their individual successes. It is a real privilege to participate in the life of my students, and I take my role as an educator very serious. With the utmost respect and appreciation for your role as the child's primary educator, I hope that we can work and support each other throughout the year for the betterment of your child. Here is to the class of 2024. I hope this is an amazing year for you all. |
character development: make your bed
MAKE YOUR BED: LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE... AND MAYBE THE WORLD WILL BE A BOOK STUDENTS READ THIS FALL. IT IS A GREAT BOOK FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED TO LEARN THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSEVERANCE, TO STAND UP TO ADVERSITY, AND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE GRIT LOOKS LIKE. PICTURED BELOW IS ADMIRAL WILLIAM MCRAVEN WHO DELIVERED THE COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, AUSTIN IN 2017.

character development:
The Pyramid of Success by John Wooden
This year students will learn about John Wooden and his Pyramid of Success in the spring. He used the pyramid with great success as the head coach of UCLA men's basketball. He won 10 NCAA Championships for UCLA between 1964 - 1975 and he is considered to be one of the greatest coaches of all time. We will learn how to be successful students but also successful people who will continue to work on our character for the rest of our lives.
