Today's Superpower: Purpose. 🎯
Today, our students unlocked a powerful new Super Hero skill: Purpose!
They learned that having Purpose means knowing your “why” and allowing it to guide the choices you make each day. It's about more than just going through the motions—it's about moving with intention toward the things that truly matter.
Our students also talked about how challenging it can be to stay focused when distractions are everywhere. To bring this lesson to life, we looked at Stephen Curry as an example of what Purpose looks like in action.
Stephen Curry didn't become one of the greatest shooters in basketball history overnight. He put in the work day after day, practicing thousands of shots even when it was difficult. Those small, consistent steps added up to something extraordinary—and the same is true for our students.
Their leadership mission: do one thing today that shows the kind of person you want to become.
At the end of the day, they can ask themselves: “Did my actions match the purpose I want to live out?” 💛

Daily Habit
First Superpower Unlocked: Steady. 🛡
They learned their Super Hero breath—breathe in like you're smelling a flower, and breathe out like you're blowing out a candle. 🌸🕯
It may seem simple, but this powerful tool helps heroes stay calm, focused, and strong on the inside, even when things feel challenging on the outside.
The big question our students are carrying with them today: “Am I using my power, or is my power using me?”
Their leadership mission is to use their Super Hero breath three times today and then teach it to someone at home tonight. So if your student comes home asking you to smell a flower and blow out a candle... you'll know they're sharing their newest superpower! 🦸

2026-2027 School Supplies List
To My East Valley Community,
After announcing my plans back in August, I did my best to stay focused on the work and not on the fact this would be my final year in P–12 public education. The month of June made that impossible. Packing up my belongings and preparing for my official exit at the end of the month has brought the reality into sharp focus. Though I am experiencing many emotions, my headspace is primarily filled with a deep sense of peace.
Serving in East Valley the past five years has been the greatest honor of my 33‑year career. Stepping away was not an easy decision, however, it was the right one for my family—especially for (and with) my bride, Tricia. I want to acknowledge her and our children, Colton, KayLeigh, and Kyler; their support and understanding made it possible for me to lead with full commitment.
I’ve had the privilege of serving as superintendent in three remarkable districts; however, it has been some time since I’ve experienced the level of connection, pride, and true community that exists here in East Valley. This place is special because the people here are special.
To our students—you are the reason we do this work. Your reliance, curiosity, and spirit inspire us daily.
To our educators—you are the heartbeat of this district. Your grit and dedication to/for kids and to one another is unmatched.
To our families and community partners—your trust, advocacy, and belief in our students make all the difference. We can't do it without you
To our Board - thank you for maintaining your focus on best outcomes for all students and for leading with heart.
Together, we are East Valley!
Thank you for welcoming me, for your partnership, and for reminding me what it feels like to belong. I look forward to continuing to live, serve, and cheer alongside you - Once a Knight, always a Knight!
With love and gratitude,
Brian L Talbott
