Saturday's Results
Saturday was a day that brought an end to three fall sports. The Warrior football team fought valiantly against the 9-0 CSE Panthers. The Panthers eventually won the game 27-14. Our seniors have been so instrumental in our young program's success. Our varsity program has been to the playoffs 3 times in 6 years. Also on Saturday, our Conference champion boy's cross-country team competed in the sectional. The girls' team competed as well. Unfortunately, we did not advance in either division. Our boys and girls had outstanding seasons this year. The boys gave us our 1st conference championship in any sport since 1986. Great job.

IPA Annual Conference
This Monday and Tuesday, I attended the 40th annual Illinois Principals Conference in Peoria. This year's conference had many great sessions to choose from. I attended the following sessions:
1. Using service learning to increase student achievement.
2. Creating a vision of learning.
3. High school roundtable.
4. Maximizing your IPA membership.
5. It's not just joking around! Understanding school bullying through the eyes of a former victim.
6. 1st general session: How an educator saved my life
7. 2nd general session: President's Address and the state education.
8. 3rd general session: The achievement gap myth
Some sessions were better than others. All the sessions had something to offer. It was often difficult to choose between 8-10 options each session. Time between sessions was spent visiting with other principals, networking of sorts.
I ended the conference by having lunch with our former athletic director, Chip Jamerson. Chip is now an elementary principal in Ridgeview. It was great catching up with Chip and hearing about his first 2 months on the job as a building principal.

Diversity Course This Weekend
On Saturday, our class of principals, superintendents, and other grad students spent an afternoon with members of the Islamic Center of the Quad Cities. We were welcomed by members of the congregation and treated to a presentation on the world of Islam. Through my college studies and work as a world history teacher, I would like to think that I am well-versed in the cultures and religions of the world. But, I learned even more about the world of Islamic people in the United States. We were treated to a long question and answer session regarding our varying cultures. We were able to witness the late afternoon prayer. I am not sure, but I would bet that I am the only one of my friends who have attended a religious service in a mosque. It was quite an enlightening experience. This course is about diversity and tolerance.

Skills
Just another great skill that one of our students has. The things that some of these kids do outside of school as hobbies are often the last things you would guess they were interested in.
