Parents and administrators from HES and Sunny Hill were among those in attendance at East Side’s first Synergy Session for 2016-2017 on September 13.

Community members were invited to join the administrators and staff at East Side to share their thoughts and suggestions regarding the overall school climate and communication efforts. The term Synergy is directly related to one of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which is the foundation of The Leader in Me model that has been put into practice this year at East Side. “The ultimate goal of synergizing is to seek out other people’s ideas,” the administrators said. “We know that by teaming with others, we can create better ideas than any one can alone.” The Synergy Session was led by East Side Principal Sandra Humphreys and Assistant Principal Mandy Bell.
