This week, I overheard an APS colleague telling an external partner, "Early learning is really a shining star for our district. I know they're still working on stuff, but I think everyone would say that is an area where things are just working." I think it can be easy for us to lose track of all the progress we are making - especially in the face of all the growth opportunities and challenges we see - so I wanted to pass along a reminder from someone who sees us from the outside!
Please review the notes below! As always, be on the lookout for a secret word. (Patrice, you won this week's drawing - swing by my office!) Additionally, please be sure to add any shout outs in the comments. Updates & Reminders:
