On the second Wednesday of September, Value Schools Orientation Team volunteers held the Second Annual Orientation Night for new staff members and faculty.
With a good meal and good cheer, Value Schools veterans spent an evening imparting our vision and mission to our newest colleagues, explaining how we teach and model the values every day.
Janelle Sagrero, alumna of Downtown Value and Central City Value, was a perfect choice to explain how the values influenced her to pursue higher education and dedicate her life to giving back. After graduating from University of California Irvine, Janelle has returned to teach Senior Seminar at University Prep Value High School!
Discussion, role play, games, and the testimonials of teachers, students and parents from each of our four schools demonstrated the power of the values to create exceptional schools and exceptional lives.
Value Schools thanks the dedicated teachers who led the event: Vanessa Navarro and Laura Oh from University Prep Value, and Lauren Norman and Taylor Willcox from Everest Value. It was a wonderful evening!
