So proud of our 7th graders and all the growth they showed this year! And it wouldn’t have happened without some amazing 7th grade teachers!!

Pancakes for Progress was a sweet success this morning at SMS! 🥞✨

We loved celebrating the incredible growth and achievement our students made on MAP testing from fall to spring by recognizing the teachers behind the progress. From confetti celebrations to fresh pancakes and all the toppings, it was such a fun way to honor the hard work happening in classrooms every day.

A special shoutout to our 7th grade team for earning the highest growth and achievement across English, Math, and Science! We are so proud of the impact our teachers continue to make for students. 🖤💛

At SMS, we celebrate growth, effort, and excellence… and today we did it with pancakes!

“People don’t commit to a job, they commit to a feeling. If your environment makes them feel like they belong, they’ll want to show up.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Lane Kiffin with an outside the box philosophy on culture building, the concept of environment as a strategy, and how people don't "buy-in" more than they 'belong':

🔓 The fastest way to change behavior isn’t motivation, it’s environment. Leadership is about creating the conditions where people feel safe, valued, and inspired. When the environment is right, performance doesn't need to be forced; it’s unlocked.

🌅 People don’t commit to a job, they commit to a feeling. If your environment makes them feel like they belong, they’ll want to show up. If it makes them feel managed, they’ll only show up when they have to.

🎨 The trajectory of a team is set long before the results show up. It’s shaped in the culture you tolerate, the standards you reinforce, and the environment you DESIGN every single day.

The environment you create doesn’t just influence behavior, it determines identity. Once people see themselves differently, they develop different habits to align with that belief and push them toward their goals. 🎯
