Like the name. Our School.......However, a few year's back the private school named just that "Our School" closed their doors. Their old website is still up and running although their phone number no longer works (http://www.ourschoolrochester.org/). Wondering, could that be a possible "branding" confusion?

Great points offered, and thanks for thoughtful input on my suggestion. As stated, that was just a 2-bit name to start the ball rolling toward great names to inspire genuine learning success for all who come. While I value your reasons why my 2-bits wouldn't work for you -- cannot wait to see the wonders that you think will inspire the best from any who come:-).If each of us tosses in an offering we think could create a quality prototype, the best one will emerge quite quickly. Love Jeanne Gray's community notion of OUR SCHOOL - and look forward to many offerings that will excite a new kind of opportunity for all learners:-) and possibily even inspire the rest of us.Best, Ellen Ellen Weber (PhD) Director - MITA International Brain Based Center PO Box 347, Pittsford, NY 14534MITA Brain Leaders and learners blog: <http://www.Brainleadersandlearners.com>www.Brainleadersandlearners.com MITA Brain Based Center Web Site at <http://www.mitaleadership.com>www.mitaleadership.com----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:eweber1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Ellen Weber To: <mailto:regional_school@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>regional_school@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 10:48 AM Subject: [regional_school] Re: We Need to Name the SchoolOthers will likely have far better ideas but here's my 2-bits:-) THE SMART SCHOOLWhy so? Every student who enters - brings an amazing brain to class and can learn as well as offer incredible insights from their past knowledge and experiences. Great schools have all learners leave even smarter than they came! Not an easy task - if one recognizes their genuine intelligence from the start. Yet a task a smart school can both recognize their smarts and inspire their potential at the peaks:-) Nuff said:-)Will be fun to see the great names that pop up for this special venture.

Doing so will solidify the concept in the Greater Rochester area. The name will translate our vision to the community.Yesterday, Keith Rankin (regional school planning member) and I sat down at Edison to discuss the issue. I want to take the time to thank Keith for his help and prodding.So.... the task......I'd like to have an e-mail brainstorming session. Keeping in mind the belief statement (attached), please share your thoughts about a name.The name should (could) be: Easy to remember Easy to spell Has a desired message (either obvious or subtle) Be creative. Take a chance. Share your thoughts! This is brainstorming......There are no bad ideas. Thanks! Bill
