Exemplary Writing
Our school had an Exemplary Writing visit yesterday. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase how our students learn to write, a subject of which we are all greatly proud. One of the visitors asked me in our exit interview, “Tell us about your writing journey.” As I looked over the table of past student writings, I replied, “Here it is….This visit is not something that we have just begun to prepare for this year. This has truly been a journey! Over the past five and a half years, students who entered Doby’s Mill as Kindergartners have grown and matured as writers. Now, they are fifth graders preparing for middle school. Their success as emerging writers is a testament to how diligent our teachers work to integrate writing into all subject areas and instruction each and every day.” I was so proud of the teachers and students. They really presented our school yesterday in a manner which is truly EXEMPLARY. While we won’t hear any news from our visit until late May, I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to go to work at such a highly energetic and highly effective and wonderfully compassionate school each and every day!

Mrs. Catoe is right! Having the opportunity to show off our students’ and teachers’ hard work for the Exemplary Writing committee was awesome. Our visitors were very complimentary. They spoke highly of our well behaved students, our beautiful school, and the showcase of writing that was displayed. I have watched our teachers grow this year implementing more writing across the curriculum. I am so proud to be a part of such a hard working group of teachers who always go the “extra mile” when it comes to their students. Write on DME!!!!!

Mrs. Catoe,
Your vision, dedication, and high expectations lead us daily in our quest to help each and every child to reach their highest potential. I heard the Exemplary Writing Judges say that our students were the best behaved and most well-mannered children that they have ever seen. I agree, and think this is a reflection of the respect that all of us have for each other at our school and your leadership as our principal.
