Thank you for staying connected and supporting our students, schools, and Viking Nation — where #7Shines! 🌟
Last Friday may have been a day off for our students, but classrooms across D7 were still buzzing with energy and ideas! Our teachers spent the day diving into professional learning — sharpening their skills and exploring new strategies to make learning even more engaging and effective.
From creative new ideas for hands-on science activities 🧪, to learning how to teach stronger writing skills ✏️ , to using AI effectively in education 🤖 — our educators were all in! They also deepened their understanding of our instructional framework, explored helpful apps that support teaching, and strengthened their understanding of how to implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to help students struggling with academics or behavior. D7 also welcomed physical education teachers from other districts to learn new research-based curriculum to foster students' wellbeing and physical health.
Every session connected back to our mission "to inspire and equip students for lives of leadership and service". 💙💛 Because when teachers grow, students shine! ✨
Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes who keep our schools and offices clean, safe, and welcoming every single day — our incredible D7 custodians! Across the district, we are blessed with 65 custodians, field custodians, and building supervisors who take immense pride in their work. Their schools are their homes, and their colleagues and students are like family. They carry a huge responsibility — not only maintaining beautiful spaces, but ensuring healthy, safe environments for learning and working.
The word custodian comes from the Latin custos, meaning “guardian.” Every D7 custodian truly embodies that spirit — looking after our students, staff, and schools with pride and love. 💙 We’d be a mess without them — literally and figuratively!
At the District Office, we are especially grateful for Addie Wray and Taliaferro “Mr. T” Woodfork. They are the glue that holds our building together — cleaning up messes, solving maintenance challenges, and tackling endless tasks with care and dedication.
Please join us in celebrating and thanking all of our remarkable custodians today — and every day. It’s no secret that when they shine, #7Shines. 🌟
