Let Them Lead

Leadership Day was nothing less than amazing!  Our kids were outstanding in every aspect.  The building looked amazing and felt amazing.  The comments from our visitors were so positive.  I will share many of those with you in this post.  What I loved most about the day was that everyone felt proud to be at Parma, and we had so much to be proud of.  We hosted guests from around the state and even a group from Indiana.  I feel that we did our part as a Lighthouse School and gave many something to consider for their own school.  Most importantly, our kids shined, and they were so proud.  I hope we can all look back at this school year as a Leader in Me school and realize how far we have come in just one year.  It seems like so long ago that we sat in Paul Wiley's classroom and heard him share his thoughts on visiting Frost's Leadership Day.  It was at that meeting that our staff committed to becoming a Leader In Me School.  You continue to be leaders, and I hope you feel as proud of our school as I do.  I would like to share some of the emails I have received, some pictures from the day and even some of the videos.  We were so nervous going into this day, but when it came down to the day, we simply needed to step back and let our kids lead!

















An Email received from one of our guests:

Sue, and all of the Parma staff,
Thank you for a wonderful presentation!  I am so impressed with ALL of your efforts.   ... The whole morning was a breath of fresh air!  I was uplifted with the encouraging aspect of a program that can build character and instill values that so many of our kids have lost.  The team work that you displayed with nothing less than admirable!

Your building emits such positive energy! What a happy place to be!  Thank you so much for sharing and for being a positive influence in our district.

I hope we will be following your lead.



Thank you for helping create such a positive, uplifting, happy place to work and learn.
