School leaders like Martin Da Costa transform lives. We joined the @WinstonCampus school community today to honor Martin’s work and surprise him with the 2021 Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Leadership! Say congrats: goldenapple.org/2021-golden-…

Over the last two days, we had students come back into the building after a seven month hiatus.
Students returned in a concurrent model, with two different groups coming every other day, while a third group always stays virtual.

We can't wait to showcase all of the amazing things we've done (intentionally, strategically, and some times by luck) to turn @WinstonCampus around by fostering a sense of community and belonging inspired by student and teacher/staff leadership.

Our Climate and Culture Team met this morning to plan to continue the joyful student experience that we've had up to this point. Student leaders were able join us remotely, and staff was able to participate in person (social distancing) and virtually.
