Amazing Raider Families,

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” ~Phil Jackson~

This week, we celebrate our administrative professionals who support the work that we do in the classroom. Without them, our job of teaching and learning is inherently more challenging. Phil Jackson, Coach of the Lakers and Bulls, likened teamwork to the pack mentality of wolves; that as a pack, the wolves are single-minded in their pursuit but each wolf draws its strength from being a part of the pack. Click on this link to hear Coach Jackson talk about teamwork. So it is with our pursuit of educating the students in our community. The administrative professionals who support our work are integral members of our staff. They strengthen our resolve to accomplish our goals; in turn, they become stronger when they are a part of a team who supports what they do. I encourage you to take time to know our administrative staff and all that they do for the SOH Team! Take time on Wednesday to honor them and their contributions. Aileen, Angelica, Dennya, Eric, Enrique, Frances, Isabel, Janette, Julia, Maribel, Melissa, Talia and Vanessa, thank you for all you do for us! We love and appreciation you.
