community involvement committee taking shape

One of the first important deadlines is facing us...organizing the Community Involvement Committee. This committee is one of the "big ideas" in our Strategic Plan since these individuals will take the lead on the Town Learning Community discussion.

The work of this committee is to "connect" with others in the town and "network" with adults in Cumberland who can support learning for our students. Is it a big responsibility...yes! Is this a chance to create a new framework for the way in which we view the education of students in the Cumberland schools...absolutely!

You already know the folks who should be on this inaugural committee since we live with them and work with them. They stand out because they have a natural ability to collaborate with others and a unique skill to draw people toward them. Perhaps it's their enthusiasm or ability to relate to others or a confidence that this person can get the job done!

Please think about the friends, neighbors, teachers and other professionals that you know who fit this description. Then it's simple...all you need to do to nominate an individual for consideration for the Community Involvement Committee is email his/her name to donna.morelle@cumberlandschools.org.

Don't delay! Our first meeting of this committee will be in early December.
