Meeker's Purpose Statement

A Purpose Statement defines why Meeker exists beyond just being a "school."  It should be relevant, operate on many levels, evoke emotion, and should be enduring.  For example, Nordstrom's Purpose Statement is "To give customers the most compelling shopping experience possible." 

Meeker's Leadership Team has spent time this fall developing our purpose statement.  We asked each Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, & Support Center classroom to have students select three words that describe Meeker.  We asked each student in 3rd-6th grade to give us their 3 words that describe Meeker.  

The Leadership Team took these words along with staff recommendations to develop our Purpose Statement: Meeker Eagles will find value in developing skills for success in an environment where they feel supported.   

We want all our students to feel supported and cared about while they learn academic, social, emotional, and behavioral skills that will help them throughout the rest of their life.  

This statement will guide our work, shape our decisions, and serve as our "why."
