Our Week In Review Week 6 of 36 ~ We Are Extraordinary

Swain County

Florence One School District









As I spent the weekend reflecting on what I should discuss in the week's review, a few weekly pictures popped into my head...


Hanford Dole's Superheros...our staff and students!






On Wednesday, we remembered Jacob Hall, the student from SC who was killed during a school shooting. Ms. Stepp suggested our school participate with others on this day to remember Jacob Hall. As I saw staff and students with their Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Avengers, and Spiderman shirts, I realized the power we have given our students to feel extraordinary.

A superhero can be defined as someone with extraordinary powers or someone who is exceptional. That is the best way to describe the impact Blended Learning has on our staff and students. It has given us extraordinary powers to always do our best in order to be exceptional at everything we do.

The smiles in the pictures above was not just for the camera, the implementation of blended learning as given all of us the power to be extraordinary and exceptional. 

This week we were able to share our passion for blended learning with two schools: Florence One School District (SC) and Swain County (NC). It is always an excited time for us when we are able to show other educators why we love blended learning. It is not because of the recognition It is the positive impact is has on the lives of our students everyday, making them extraordinary and exceptional.

As you continue to follow our Blended Learning Journey, you will see the extraordinary and exceptional things it is doing for our school. It has given us the opportunity to meet the needs of each individual student where they are. With Blended Learning we give our students the opportunity to be extraordinary and exceptional.
