[Music] What's he even aiming at? [Music] Yes. Yes. Did you see that? Yes. Yes. We got lucky on that one. Maybe you need to get your eyes checked. [Music] Good morning, Mr. McIntyre. Are you ready for your back to school eye exam? >> I am. I am. Thank you. >> Great. Well, let's get started. >> Go ahead and cover your left eye for me. >> Okay. >> Oh, shoot. I'm so sorry. I've got an emergency call. I'm going to step out real quick, but I have a vision specialist that will help take over for me. >> Okay. Thank you. [Music] Don't worry, I've got this. Let's get started. >> Okay, doc. I'm ready to go. >> All right, tell me what you see. >> W E. The rest is kind of blurry. >> Okay, now let's try better or worse. >> Oh, that's way better. It's the power of purpose. That's been our focus the past few years. >> I know. I saw that hockey video. That was pretty well done. But what was up with the squeeze ball? >> Yeah, we're not going to talk about the squeeze ball. We're looking forward now. >> Now, I want you to look forward and tell me what you see. I see books. Our schools are all about literacy this year. >> What about this one? What do you see? >> Hey, is is that one of our tech specialists? Is is that Jeff Knox? I didn't know he played the accordion. >> All right. How about this? >> Ah, I see what you're cooking up. That's Gretchen Schroeder from Jackson Middle School. I heard she earns blue ribbons for her school lunches and for her quilts. >> Okay, now what do you see? >> We're really getting into that back to school grind. That's Joel Mard from Sandberg Regional. He's really shredding with that skateboard. >> You know, it sounds like you're getting a vision of who works in the school district. >> Man, this appointment's been eyeopening. >> I know. We just have a few more tests. Hey, that's Ross Giles in student services. He's making custom shoes for student athletes. It looks like our staff really know how to connect with our students. >> You know, you're right. You just need to keep doing what you all do best. >> That's what it's all about. Our shared purpose. >> Okay, this is a good one. Last one. Tell me which one you prefer. >> Uh, don't make me choose. I love them all. I'll tell you later which one I like best. Well, Superintendent McIntyre, we're all done here. Good news. Your vision is strong. Good luck at the dentist. This year, we remain focused on preparing students for life. We see you. We know you are powerful educators and professionals that impact our students. You make a difference here and you make a difference in your personal life. Each person working in an Noah Henipin has a unique lens when it comes to connecting with students and with each other and I encourage you to embrace that this year. Our mission and vision is to effectively educate each student for success. Keep focused and we will continue making a difference for our school communities. Have a great year. [Music]
