Crew,
The theme of the #Crew Communication for this week is Culture. I want to thank the staff members who responded to my email asking for two words that best describe the culture at Kamiah Schools. From those emails, I was able to create a word bubble that aggregates the collective beliefs that our staff hold about the culture in Kamiah Schools.

The term ‘caring’ in our word bubble was the most frequently used word and is indicated by the size above. The purpose of this task was to begin to recognize how our actions (Climate) can impact how we feel about our school (Culture). It is important to me, and hopefully the same to you, that we have a culture that embraces and cares about the students and staff in the organization.
