I have avoided writing this for some time now. Sorry to those few of you who follow this blog regularly. Now that we know who the new principal of David Cameron will be I can begin to get my head around transition. I have said to several people over the past month or so that moving to a new position is bittersweet; I am excited about the new challenge and possibilities of the new job, but I am also saddened at leaving such a vibrant and caring school community.
I have been reflecting back on the time that I have been fortunate to spend at David Cameron, and all that we have been able to accomplish together, and am in awe of the commitment that this school community has shown in making education special for our children. I remember back to the warm welcome that I received from staff, students, and parents upon my arrival at David Cameron and have continued to strive to ensure that new families have been able to feel the same thing. Over the years we have come through the blending of two schools into one new entity through the development of a shared culture. This was due in large order to the open and caring nature of everyone involved. The development of a strong culture has been a passion of mine and it is comforting to see how strong it has become. We now have a very clear set of beliefs about how we choose to work and be together. This is very encouraging for a strong future.
I know that everyone is replaceable and that it won't take long for the culture of the school to evolve to its new state. I am pleased to have played a small role in making the education of so many great kids a positive one. I have a little bit of time left at the school and will continue to give my full attention and effort to our students in that time. More reflections to come as we get closer to the end of the year.
