In August, 2012, Community School welcomed the first cohort of Teacher Training Academy Interns. This group, aptly nicknamed "The Pioneers", enriches our school community.  These talented individuals work in the elementary, middle, and high school as well as in the Admissions Office and CS Ski Academy.  They are also Resident Advisors in our "dorm" at the base of Baldy.

This group has jumped into life at Community School.  They have helped students move into the dorms, taken them for hikes, and even shopping in Twin.  They have already started their dorm duties.  On the CS curricular side, they have met with mentor teachers, co-led Fall Campouts, helped students establish routines, run admission tours, made phone calls to parents, and attended meetings and workshops. These are just a few of the jobs the Fearless Five have undertaken.

As the year races along, it will be neat to follow their integration into CS life.  Hopefully, some of them will choose to blog about their time at CS. Please welcome them to our close school community when you see them.

Yahoo!  To a wonderful year of school with five new interns!  Roll on Pioneers, wagons ho!
