6-5-2015

The Graduation ceremony went very well Wednesday night.  It could not have happened without a lot of help from everyone.  Thanks to Melissa for doing an excellent job with the choir and securing the keynote speaker for the ceremony.  Thanks to Pat and Ellen for taking the tickets at the door, and getting the tickets and programs in order.  Thanks to all of the teachers who came to the event and special thanks to Mark, Keriann, Danielle and Bill for filling in the details for me and performing flawlessly on stage.  You guys are the best!

Just one link this time:  Summer Reading and Math resources for teachers, parents and students.  http://www.edutopia.org/blog/summer-learning-resources-matt-davis?utm_content=blog&utm_campaign=summer-learning-resources&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialflow&utm_term=link

The seventh grade team had their students put on Fairy Tale Theater yesterday and they did a great job.  You can tell that a lot of work went into each students performance.  Great job Adrienne!

Please make sure that you look over the "check out" list so that you can be ready for Pat, Melissa and myself for your check out time.

I look forward to the award ceremonies on Monday.  We have so many great students that have worked hard and deserve recognition.

I thought the eighth grade clap-out was a great new tradition.  The students were treated like rock stars by the younger students.

The yearbooks look awesome!  Thanks to Lynn for working so hard with the small group of students who put it together.

Student schedules are going to be posted online in mid-August for students and parents to see.  We will no longer be posting homeroom lists on the windows.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Caroline, Lurana, Jill and John for their may years of service to District 25.  Your service to children, professionalism, work ethic, relationships with peers and selflessness set the gold standard for other teachers to strive for.  Thank you.

I hope to see everyone over at Pat's today after school.  It will be good to honor the retiree's, relax and joke around with everyone as the school year comes to an end.  Thanks to Pat for opening up her home.
