All-School Work Day
Please be sure to join us on Saturday, August 16th, from 1-5 PM when we work together to beautify our school and surroundings. We will send home a list of needed items and jobs in our August mailing, but please save the date. This is a great way to see old friends, meet new families and bond together in making our school a lovely and safe place for all.

    Horizons believes:


    Authenticity

    We strive to provide authentic learning experiences through a curriculum that is personally significant, and relates to the real world.

    Respect
    We believe in creating a community of life-long learners by including and accepting all individuals (parents, students, staff, and community members). Respect is modeled, practiced, and expected throughout our community. We value open, caring relationships among community members.


    Diversity

    We value and embrace diversity; therefore, we believe that unique ideas, experiences, and learning styles within and outside our community cultivate and inspire our relationships.


    Flexibility
    We believe that a community of learners must evolve by periodically re-evaluating its structure and learning experiences. We support and encourage all community members to innovate, grow, and strive for quality.


    Responsibility

    We believe that a community of learners promotes an individual sense of purpose and contribution, creating a sense of commitment to self, school, the environment and the larger world.


    Quality

    We intend to uphold the mission and goals of the school by establishing criteria of excellence and eliciting from each student a desire to achieve their own highest standard and quality of academic work and community contribution.

    Reflections On (A First) Year
    I was there when Sonny opened the doors on the hot August morning, and I was full of anticipation, looking forward to my first year as assistant lead teacher, and to teaching a new group of 4/5 students in the afternoon, and at the same time, not sure what to expect. As I look back I've learned that "what to expect" on any given day is a concept I've just had to let go of; I've grown and learned so very, very much and in so many ways. And, I still love my time spent teaching my beloved 4/5 students. Thank you for the opportunity to work with all the Horizons students and parents, and I look forward to next year, even though I still don't know quite what to expect!

    Have a wonderful summer.

    Nel
