Guest Speaker at Council Meeting

As a lot of you know, the principal from Wilma Hansen was at our last Council meeting. Mrs. Higgins was open, responsive, and clearly engaged in affecting change to her school and her community.

I found it very reassuring to hear her speak of reaching out to the feeder schools and opening lines of communication with everyone in our community. She not only talks about it but she is active about it. She regularly 'hangs out' with her students at the Seven-11 across the street, has started an integrity program with them encouraging character and responsibility, has been actively seeking out parental participation at the school, has been working with her Council chair (a Haultain Council past Chair - Ryna S.) to encourage more parents to become active at the school, and has opened lines of communications with other schools in the community.

Thank you, Mrs. Higgins, for attending our meeting.
