At the end of Chinese New Year season and square in the middle of the teacher recruitment season, it seems like the ninety-plus new faculty members who joined us last August have always been a part of the SAS family. New Hire Mentors met last month to evaluate the mentoring program and to set the stage for welcoming those who will join us in August. If you would like to get involved and have had CFG training, please contact Julie Lindsay or Sepi Johnson.

With Michael Thompson’s visit only a month away, I offer a sneak preview of a couple of his workshops. All workshops will be given on both campuses through the course of the day and after school – check this link for content details:The workshops are part of our Partnership with Parents Program and sponsored in part by the PTSA. Teachers are invited to presentations contingent on teaching schedules. A full schedule of presentations will be published in the first week of March.
Michael Thompson is a psychologist, school consultant, and author or co-author of seven books, including the New York Times bestseller, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys, Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions about Raising Sons, The Pressured Child and Best Friends, Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children. A dedicated speaker and traveler, Dr. Thompson has appeared on the Today Show, the Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC 20/20 and CBS 60 Minutes. He was the co-author, host and narrator of a two-hour PBS documentary entitled “Raising Cain: Focus on Boys” which aired in January of 2006.
