This week we had another great week meeting potential students for the new Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership Development School! We were fortunate to meet some wonderful parents and students during the Magnet Open House events sponsored by Susie Tolbert Elementary and San Jose Elementary.
We also hosted another evening Open House on our campus on Thursday evening. It was fun to see so many eager 5th grade students! They all seem so excited about making the transition to middle school. I had the good fortune to give one of the tours during our evening event! The students on our tour seemed to take particular interest in our television production studio and computer lab. There also seemed to be a good bit of interest in seeing what a middle school locker room looks like! The one area that we didn't include on the tour was the cafeteria. Several students did ask what it looks like after the tour, so I will be posting a picture on my blog during the next few days.
Our design team continues to make plans for our program next year. We met again this Friday morning. There was a good bit of discussion on how to shape the 7th grade leadership component. This portion of our program is entitled, "Leadership in the Community." Additionally, we began discussion on upcoming technology purchases. We continue to look towards Mac wireless laptops. I will continue to update my blog as we make those decisions!
