Yesterday a team from Next Jump came to meet with our parents, children, and teachers, in the next phase of their "adoption" process. In the midst of a dramatic and soggy thunderstorm at dismissal time, about 40 families gathered in the auditorium to hear an overview of Next Jump's approach to a healthy work enviroment leading to a better world, and how that dream might be realized at PS 119/The Dr. Emmett W.Bassett School.
We so appreciated the way the Next Jumpers worked with our students, taking them off, while their parents conferred, for some sports, and exciting computer coding activities, to walk the walk regarding the physical and mental health levels of the PEMS quadrant. We trusted them with our students and that says something beyond words.We were especially moved by the natural collaboration by the guest instructors and PS 119 faculty. We already feel like a part of their team!*******************************************************
The parents were the real stars, though. They discussed openly and articulately what works at PS 119 and what isn't working. They are ready to move to another level: good to great. They are ready to contribute to making things much better. This partnership, and all we are learning from Next Jump, could take us all from good to great, and that's what the Dr. Emmett W. Bassett School craves and deserves. We hope Next Jump will consider the magic of our third date and choose us. We know we will make them proud. Better yet, we will make us prouder and better. And we will make a better world, one school, one family, one child at a time.
