Inspired by Charlie Appelstein, Appelstein Training Resources, COMPASS School held Apple Day this week with staff members. This project consisted of creating positive messaging while also team building. Staff created two murals; one for the Upper School floor and another for the Lower School floor. They also created a positive thought path for our stair cases.
Charlie Appelstein, Appelstein Training Resources, spent time with COMPASS School staff back in December 2022, and left a positive impact on us all. We created Apple Day from his training and learning session and look to adopt more from the tools and techniques we've learned.
Thank you Charlie and COMPASS School staff for making Apple Day a hit!
