And I thought I was busy in April?
It feels like forever since I have sat down to add a new post. May was a blur! Senior Night, a new final exam schedule, graduation, and the unfortunate events of the first week of June all ran together in one continous series of events. Schools are like small communities and everyday is filled with constant change and our little community had much going on during the last few weeks of May and early weeks of June. I hope all of you who attended Senior Awards Night were as proud of our senior class as I was. We had a great turn-out and hope to build on the event each year. Our new final exam policy appears to have a been a positive change. Many students have expressed satisfaction with being rewarded for semester-long efforts. Graduation was a difficult day for many. It should a be time of celebration for all of the students who have earned their diplomas. I believe we (staff, students, administration, and parents) did the best we could under the heavy emotional toll that many were faced with. With May behind us, June half over and a 39th birthday in the rear-view mirror - we are already planning for registration, making curricular changes and preparing the building for a return to what I consider normalcy. Only 1.5 months and we be right back at it again - HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!!!!
