In the Dynamic Duo piece, it was stated that "The tables have turned"and we are proud to say that we now have many collaborative classrooms that we would and have readily invited our neighbors to tour in order for them to grow from us."

It is said that mockery is the greatest form of flattery. At least four other systems, all of whom have visited at least one of OUR schools, have followed our lead with the math initiative. Know that what we have done, are doing, and will do, does not only affect our students but many others across the area. Let us encourage one another to "Keep on Keeping on!"
