I grew up in the 70's when Fresno television was inundated with a local car dealer inviting us to Come to Kerman! Little did I know how smart that guy was as, some 40 years later, I took the visit and was blown away by my new friends at Kerman Middle School. I learned first that they were a warm staff who had already embraced the How Many Wins concept for the year. My talk was warmly received and I'm confident they will have a winning culture.
I am also confident in the contribution of their principal. Besides preaching the WINS message, she had filled the room with arts and crafts things that displayed my vocabulary . It reminded me how important the leader is in the message. She nailed it...check out her handiwork.
