Sharing Kindness and Love at CCPS

Anyone can "show up" when life is smooth—when everything aligns, when the path is clear, when it all unfolds as expected. But true leadership is tested in the hard moments—when uncertainty clouds the way, when challenges seem insurmountable, and when tough choices demand courage. Greatness isn’t found in ease; it’s forged in resilience. Choose to show up—especially when it’s hard. That’s when it matters most.

Tis the season…

Here is to the excitement of a NEW school year: I am very much looking forward to joining @cookstowncps crew and learning and growing as a leader for the 2024/2025 school year!

Many of our young people walk into our schools with much lower emotional development than their chronological age due to chaos & adversity. They struggle with self-regulation due to an overactive stress response/amygdala hijack/limbic escape.🧠🌱

Games club is a huge success @AGESGryphons thanks to @AlconaGlenLC One of the many opportunities, clubs and teams taking place thanks to the leadership of our wonderful educators

Great things happening in grade 1 @AGESGryphons to support self-regulation and to build problem solving skills
