In addition to the breakout sessions facilitated by volunteers from the community, opening day for Duneland employees included an introduction of new employees, and welcome speeches from Superintendent Steve Hewlett and Assistant Superintendent Pete Morikis. Employees then watched a short film, FISH, followed by a skit, Get Fished, written and presented by Duneland employees.

What is the Fish Philosophy?

Play - It's about having fun, enjoying yourself, being spontaneous and creative. Life is too short to spend it frowning and FISH! brings a smile to your face.

Make Their Day - It's about doing something special for your students and co-workers. When you make someone's day you have given them a special gift they won't soon forget. It feels good to give it.

Be There - It's about being totally focused on the moment and on the person or task with which you are engaged. When we are fully present with our students and with each other, we are listening deeply and important opportunities do not escape us.

Choose Your Attitude - It's about accepting full responsibility for all of our choices, even our attitude at work. A positive attitude is a decision we make, moment to moment.
