Serve and Celebrate Others
|
Building people up through positive interactions and acknowledging those who invest in others. |
The staff and students of PAUSD will become a community of “Builders” through investing in service and celebrations on behalf of others. We will positively impact peers, colleagues, and the broader community through human interaction and connections free of judgment and full of joy. Programs, groups, and individuals will be routinely celebrated for building people up through their actions, words, and kindness. Our shared commitment to celebrating our “Builders” will allow for multiple layers of people to contribute at every level.
