NEW WALK!!! LEADERS!!!
Finding JOY in the work is so much easier when the work is MANAGEABLE, MEANINGFUL, and MAGNETIC. Leadership shouldn’t feel like survival…it should feel like something you actually ENJOY DOING.

NEW WALK!!! LEADERS!!!!
Pay attention to the version of you that shows up MOST OFTEN. Leadership isn’t about being perfect. It is about showing up the same way OFTEN ENOUGH so that those you lead feel safe and supported.

We have to own the learning.
If a student isn’t getting it, the answer isn’t to label them — it’s to adjust, ask, try again, and find the tool that works.
That’s the work.

MU Field Fair with Mrs. Johnson! We had so much fun meeting future educators!

[Kim Uffmann @MrsKUffmann]

Russell Staff got outside this morning to practice our recess expectations! We loved getting to let loose and have fun while also ensuring we had consistent & common language and routines!

Ms. Kerri, one of our amazing CAs, was recognized by MSTA this week as the Associate of the Year!
It was a HUGE surprise & so deserved. Ms. Kerri emulates our Russell Values - caring, curious, committed, courageous, and collaborative. Congratulations, Ms. Kerri!

I struggled with this a lot as a school leader. The culture of the building is shaped by what we PROMOTE…but also what we PERMIT. The people who work the hardest get frustrated when behaviors of those that don’t are tolerated. #LeadFromWhereYouAre

[Kim Uffmann @MrsKUffmann]

So excited to get to meet so many wonderful educators at the CPS Job Fair today!

[Kim Uffmann @MrsKUffmann]

Start the new year of with a sweat!
Try out 30 minute versions of BodyAttack & Fusion with 2 of our very own Raven parents!
You do NOT need to be a Wilson's member, so gather some friends & support your health & Russell at the same time!

Mrs. Taylor, CA, is a true embodiment of what it means to be a Raven. She’s deeply committed to fostering a safe & supportive environment, finding the best ways to meet student needs. Taylor’s collaborative spirit is contagious, making Russell a better place to be! #RavensSoar

[Kim Uffmann @MrsKUffmann]

It’s like Mr. Fatoma has always been part of the Raven family. He’s a go getter, problem solver, & calm presence that brings JOY to students & staff. We're grateful to have his knowledge & kindness in our learning community. He's LOVED by all, staff & students alike.

Stephanie's a gift to our Russell family. She's willing to learn, helps w/ anything thrown at her, & continually asks questions/clarification to support those she works with. You'll find her with a smile & genuine commitment to our Ravens. Thank you for being you!
