Stephanie’s ROX Story
When I first discovered ROX and presented it to my previous "princiGal" Caryn, she was familiar with the program and BEYOND supportive in my journey to become a Facilitator.
Principal Caryn, ROX Champion
Caryn made sure I received the necessary training and helped to secure the funding for the ROX Program. Fast forward 3 years later, and she encouraged me to present with her at a district professional development about the importance of The ROX Program. This helped bring a larger spotlight to the program. We were the only ROX Program in our county. Now I have moved onto another district but I will NEVER forget my ROX CHAMPION, Caryn!
