7th & 8th Grade Advisories:

"Deerfield-Windsor School exists to inspire in its students a passion for learning, a commitment to personal integrity, and a sense of social responsibility."

In groups of 3, answer the following questions about our school's mission statement:

1. What is the purpose of a mission statement?
2. What does the mission statement seem to emphasize?  Are these worthwhile goals?  Can you think of any additional goals that we, as a school, should be working towards?
3. Consider the statement line by line.  Which lines are the most and least meaningful to you?
4. What can you do to uphold the mission statement?

Students, share answers group by group.
