What is she talking about? Why are we here? Why is she wasting our time? I would rather be doing something else,
somewhere else. I should be in my classroom!
Here at Loachapoka High School
We are ALL stakeholders! We are ALL glad to have a job! We ALL do something special at this
school! We ALL have a position! We ALL are unique!
How can we shine?
We can shine by reaching out to ….
Our students Our parents Our community Our administrators Prospective teachers The SACS committee (outside forces)…THROUGH OUR WEBSITE….
THROUGH OUR WEBSITE….Have you seen it lately?

Why does this matter? Who is really looking at this site?
A prospective teacher: Do I want to work here?
A parent: WOW! They are doing a lot in her class!
An administrator: Look at what this school is doing!
A student: Look, there I am! Or what should I read this summer for Ms. Felton’s class? Or where is that paper again?
