Assignment
As we discussed at our last meeting, the goal statements above identify some of the key areas of growth, quality, and support for the St. Therese community. The assignment for each group is to review, revise, edit, add to, or delete from these goal statements. These statements are truly a first draft version and need refinement. In the end, each goal statement should support our Vision statement, promote the Seven Essential Elements, and provide a core direction for leadership and tactical planning.

After your group meets, please email your versions of the goal statements to me. We will then have four, second-draft versions and we will see how much variation there is among them. Hopefully we can finalize the goal statements at our next meeting.

Thanks,
Dennis
