First of all, I'd like to welcome you all to my new principal's blog and thank you for taking the time to visit and read. I hope that it is enjoyable for you.
To begin, I'd like to share the three things that have happened leading up to the inspiration for this blog.
1.) Writing has always been an activity that I’ve enjoyed. I remember loving to write stories in elementary school, and essays and papers as I grew older. I remember at West Branch High School that my favorite class was writing for the student newspaper, The Bear.
Blogging has for some time been something that has intrigued me. In my previous position, I was responsible for setting-up and participating in collaborative book study blogs.
2.) I am inspired by the recent School Administrators of Iowa conference that I attended to become responsible for telling my school’s story. In the 21st century, a blog is a wonderful platform to communicate quickly with a wide-spread audience.
3.) As I continue to build a Professional Learning Network (PLN) via Twitter (@MrEwald_Iowa), I am inspired, again, to begin blogging. I want to contribute to the blog-o-sphere by sharing all of the wonderful things that happen at Riverside Elementary, as well as my reflections in ‘Let Me Tell You a Story...’
So please - read, enjoy, follow, and share what I have to say through this blog. Like most things, it will be a work in progress. However, there are so many great thing happening at Riverside Elementary that I feel obligated to share our stories.
