It's amazing how a certain day of the week makes you feel. Monday (blah), Wed (okay), and Friday (yahoo!). And we love our jobs . . . can you imagine the feeling of folks that go to work just to collect a paycheck? Another big week with lots of activities on top of the day to day teaching.
Soccer team is off to a great start (3 wins - 0 loses). Congratulations Dave Jenkins and Jeremy Shearer! Students have been showing up in droves to "support" the team. They really stay to socialize but it looks great to have such a large group! Encourage your students to stay next Thursday for the Paisley game.
PTA open house last evening was another huge success. Eric Schoulda(and the boys/girls) were super. They always bring such a festive atmosphere to the opening PTA event. 7th and 8th grade teachers did a great job explaining their field trips and fielding questions. I know 8th grade numbers seem to be very high for the fall trip - This was a goal for more students to go on this trip (yes!) A large percentage of 7th graders are also going on the fall trips! 6th grade teachers - fantastic preparation and delivery last night. You provided parents with valuable information that will help them to partner with the school. I believe sharing the EVAAS information was an "eye opener" to many parents. Looking at data helps enlighten decisions that can be made. Thanks to Daniel Bryant/Elizabeth Hobson/Kim Abrams for sharing this idea with the others!
Lisha Vannoy is the Tdap queen and Jenny is the princess! They "annoyed" the heck out of parents to make sure 6th graders had their mandatory vaccines. I was told by many parents they never wanted to hear "Lisha Vannoy's" voice again on their phones! BUT only 2 kids don't have their shots.. That was a major "elephant" to devour. Thank you!!
Big "kudos" to Karen Parker for tutoring after school (when she isn't expected) with our EC kids. Jerry Messick has filled in for Jennifer while being out with her son that has been sick - you da man "commissioner!". LaJoi, Peggy, Jerry are the best ever! They always go way beyond was is expected :) And Diana . . . she is the silent cog that makes this machine run. She does so many things (I don't even know everything she does because she just does them). She is NEVER absent and just digs in and does way more than she should . . . AND does she seem to be sweeter than ever? :)
If you weren't mentioned this week, your time is coming! Have a great weekend and get some rest!
Go Patriots!
