IT Creswell Middle Prep of the Arts
Vision and Mission Statement Development

The development of vision and mission statements at IT Creswell Middle Prep of the Arts occurred on January 20 & 27, 2017.  Dr. Margie Johnson used the collaborative inquiry process with grade level teams, which also included students and support staff, to develop draft vision and mission statements.  These statements will be used by the leadership team to revise, edit, and finalize the vision and mission statements.  Check out their awesome work in the below pictures.
