During the week of January 14th we began tours for the Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership Development School. Tours were held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We were delighted to see such enthusiastic students, as well as their families each evening. Additionally, we were excited to be invited to participate in parent informational meetings at Hendricks Avenue Elementary, Holiday Hill Elementary, and Love Grove Elementary. We continue to enjoy sharing information about our program with perspective parents and students!
The tours at Julia Landon began with an overview of the program in our auditorium. We discussed the school's new mission, our transition from a neighborhood school to a dedicated magnet program, and other pertinent school information. The overview was followed by a school tour. Parents and students seemed so pleased with our recently renovated facilities. I think many students had a particular interest in our computer lab and television production studio. I can already tell that there are plenty of students who are ready to be involved with the technology/multimedia aspects of our magnet program.
I continue to be excited about the interest expressed in the "leadership" portion of our program. Parents and students have asked so many amazing questions about how this portion of the program will be implemented. Parents seem to be excited about having their child participate in Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens." The students seem excited about the multimedia experience that will be incorporated into the 8th Grade Leadership Symposium.
The week of January 21st will be particularly busy for us at Julia Landon. We have an evening tour on our campus at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday evening. We will also be presenting information about our new magnet program at San Jose Elementary and Susie Tolbert Elementary!
