Almost There Peeps.

 

We are almost there everybody. We need to hear that.

Our year is exactly three weeks away from conclusion. 

We CAN complete the year with grace, dignity and hope for the new 

Pathways Brand. 

                             

The name Learning Store, Store Front will only ever be spoken by accident in the future. We will reminisce. There is great praise for all who who have worked here. The number of kids they/you rescued is undeniable. We rallied from being told we aren't a school, from being given every out of the box kid, from being told we don't teach, from being short staffed, from being recognized sometimes and ignored others. Fact is, we do like to be ignored, we just liked to choose the times. Funny aren't we. This summarizes us, quirky, funny, odd, misunderstood, brilliant, beyond creative, professionally talented educators. Kids always came first, kids succeeded, families benefited, our communities added an educated adult to their population. You became a better educator, you were challenged, you were a Learning Store Educator. 

Now, you transition to a Pathways Educator a renewed mission, a clear direction, building a school that meets the needs of 1-12 students. while still offering a safe space for our kids who need that. Offering accomodations to kids who require them, pacing kids to graduate, planning for their success, being patient when you need to be. Those parameters won't change just the name changes. Change is coming, we will be ready for the adventure. When you know, it helps.
