9F--Interview+with+Maryanne+DeSantis


 * Feels King meet the individual needs of each student personally/well. Teaching for seven years


 * Feels there is accountability and integrity in place. The school is a wonderful community that she feels gratetful to be part of. She admires and supports the new mission statement. Feels there should be more shared discussion on how this will used internally to be sure we are all on the page. Question what is the "global" aspect of the Mission Statement?
 * Feels community is welcoming. Would like to see greater collaboration throu8ghtout the divisions. Collaboration and service are very important and needs to be shared across the divisions.
 * Feels there needs to be greater communication in the lower school. As a Pre-K teacher doesn't have contact with other faculty and divisions.
 * Suggest more involvement in the community - PreK parents supportive, always involved.


 * Community Service - excellent teaches children to have empathy for others. Finds developmentally appropriate for Pre-K. Food Drive was an excellent way for students to learn about measuring and counting.


 * Service Learning - still needs clarity. Suggests review of how program works. Doesn't know if there is a complete buy in from Lower School. Feels we need to become a leader and that the drive come from the top down to be sure we are met with success.


 * Concern that King families are not sure of what all is place.
 * Diversity - faculty respectful, lacking presence of diversity in lower school. Faculty and students. What steps are being taken to improve
