We are in Miami!

Or Miam-ah, as I keep hearing it be called! It has been a fascinating trip so far. Traveling with Mr. Sims, our Head of School, has been educational. I have learned so much about his background, and if you think I was excited before about him becoming our new Head of School, double my enthusiasm! As we flew down, we talked about the topic that so many students can't wait to see....the schedule. As we move towards being a certified IB school, we begin to not just be a school that offers IB, but we are developing an identity. Many of the IB students I have met have made it clear to me, in no uncertain terms, IB is more than a curriculum, it is a community....an environment....and I feel that here in Miami!

The people I have met have been so friendly. IB connects these schools world-wide. Tomorrow, we will get to hear Greg Mortenson speak. His BIO inspired me! You can read about him and get a taste of what we will experience (www.threecupsoftea.com) I can't wait!

More to come tomorrow! As we start this new year, there will be such an exciting evolution as we see our school become IB. Each day is a new step!
