“How do you inspire and encourage your students to live out the Mesquite Promise in their daily lives?”
Principal Brandi Lewis: At Shands, we live out The Mesquite Promise every day. The Promise reminds us to create a community where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired. By embracing the habits of dignity, belonging, and positive growth, we empower students to step into their potential.
• Be Bold → We encourage students to take risks, speak up, and believe in themselves, just as The Mesquite Promise calls us to nurture confidence and resilience.
• Be Bright → We commit to cultivating curiosity, celebrating learning, and shining a light on the unique strengths of each child — a reflection of the Promise’s focus on positive development.
• Be You → We honor individuality, dignity, and belonging, ensuring every student knows they matter and has a place in our school family.
