Building Mission Statements...

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to craft your own mission statement? Well our 6th grade MASTERS students found out that it isn't so easy! On the first day of MASTERS, our leadership team discovered that a mission statement is a sentence that describes "a group's purpose or philosophy." Putting this knowledge into practice, students used several key words (and added a few of their own) to craft several sample mission statements for the MASTERS organization. Click on the video to see the student teams in action!

After the student teams completed their missions statements, they posted them to the MASTERS blog. You can actually read their submissions in the previous blog post! Over the next couple of weeks, we will be evaluating, revising, and refining our mission statements until at last we have a single mission statement that defines who we are as a group, and what our mission is for this year. We are definately off to a great start!
