This year we will focus on working together to promote collaboration and growth. The district theme is Together Sumter - Every School, Every Student, Every Day.
Our focus here at Crestwood will be what we can and will do, together. Together we are stronger, smarter, and can achieve more. I look forward to seeing what my students can do, and helping them grow and achieve in the upcoming year. |
"Share Your Popcorn" Sam Glenn is a motivational speaker who spoke at the E3 Conference sponsored by Sumter School District & multiple community businesses. Mr. Glenn spoke eloquently on many topics of importance, including attitude and leadership, while keeping his audience entertained and engaged. He painted this beautiful eagle during his performance.
You will be a different person at the end of this school year. You will face both expected and unexpected challenges. How you react to these challenges will shape who you are.
I implore you to keep an open mind and face this semester with the courage to step beyond the borders of your comfort zone and allow yourself to grow. Use what you learn this year to identify your strengths and passions and discover what your "popcorn" is and how you can share it with others. |
This year Crestwood has chosen the theme "Share Your Popcorn" which embodies one of the themes of Sam Glenn's speech. Watch the video above to hear part of Mr. Glenn's performance.
How I Interpret Our Theme.... Sharing your popcorn is about sharing your heart, what you love, and in some cases, your talents, with those around you. As a teacher, I have many passions tied to learning, including a love of history, of helping others learn, and naturally, a love of school supplies. This year I plan to share my passion for learning with my students through engaging lessons designed to push students out of their comfort zones. |
