Faculty Bonding
MLK faculty are more than just coworkers, we are family. This is evident to all who have ever spent any amount of time at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Student Transition Academy. The staff know that we have a good thing going and do not take it for granted. One way the staff stay connected is by participating in monthly outings away from school. This gives the staff to get to know each other on another level and talk about things other than PBIS and RtI. It really helps to build a sense of camaraderie and actually helps us to work better as a team where it counts- with the students.
Last year the men held a barbecue cook-off and a pizza baking competition. The men proved to be pretty good cooks. This year it was the ladies turn. The ladies prepared what has been called International Dinner Day. The menu consisted of panadas, fried turkey, shrimp & cheese grits, Mexican Corn, quiche, shrimp & rice, chicken quesadillas, and creamy pasta bake. The food was delicious and everyone left full and satisfied. The meal ended with birthday cake and ice cream to celebrate birthdays for the month - another tradition at MLK that helps keep the staff close!
The next celebration was our first annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast, which will take place on Friday, January 13, 2012!
