vision statement crap

I think the purpose of a vision statement is to have a sense of organization. When the vision statement is clear, we know the goal we are working towards. Our schools vision statement is "a community of artists learning and growing together." I think this motto works for our school because everyone that goes here is in some form an artist, and I've also seen teamwork here more than I have at any other school. I think it helps new people or people that don't go to our school have some insight into what the school is like, but I think to truly understand one must experience being a student here. Though it was a noble attempt and I think the person(s) who wrote the statement understood our school well, I don't think Creative Arts can ever really be put into words. I see the vision statement as purely something for outsiders, probably the administrations way of trying to categorize our school.
