It gives me great pleasure to invite you to Dream with Dowagiac Union Schools. As representatives of Dowagiac Union Schools, Larry Seurynck, Board President, and I would like to express our sincere desire for you to attend the keynote address presented by Bill Capodagli on Monday, February 28, at 6:00 PM at the Dowagiac Middle School Performing Arts Center. Bill Capodagli is the author of the best seller, The Disney Way and Innovate The Pixar Way, and an international business consultant for Fortune 500 companies.
The keynote address will begin the process of creating a collaborative plan with community members to prepare our students for the demands of the 21st Century and a global economy. The Dowagiac Union Schools Board of Trustees and I believe all people of Dowagiac should be part of the dream process to shape Dowagiac Schools for the next decade. From my experience exceptional student achievement can be obtained and sustained if a common dream is generated and implemented with community input and support.
To that end, please join us for this keynote address to be part of the beginning of the Disney Way initiative. An initiative ensuring high school graduates are ready to enter college or other post secondary training. A plan where students trust through education and training they can make a family sustaining wage. A Dowagiac Dream where students can rise to the rigor of the curriculum because they have significant relationships with adults making the curriculum relevant and meaningful resulting in higher test scores, increased academic achievement, and increased graduation rates.
Utilizing community input, a 21st Century Educational Plan will be crafted and presented to our community with a target date of August 31, 2011. As superintendent of Dowagiac Union Schools, I can honestly state our Dowagiac Union Schools will improve because stakeholders like you participated in our Dreaming, Believing, Daring, and Doing. I look forward to seeing you on February 28, 2011. There is no cost except your valuable time and a commitment to our Dowagiac community.
Dr. Mark Daniel
Superintendent
