A big thank you to Chris and Angela for sharing their experience at the tech conference in Denver. Nearpod, the introduction of google classroom and google extensions, and virtual reality are all great avenues to take the great teaching we are doing to the next level.
Congratulations to Angela and HOPE Group for securing funds from AAA that will pay for 3 bike racks! Dr. Ehrhardt and I checked the bike path parking area next to the school yesterday and the safety plan for our students parking their bikes is secure.
Thanks to Jessica, April, Ellen, and Kim for stepping in to help make our lunchroom process smooth in Debbie's absence.
Even with grades this is a good move for vocabulary with students.
Jen and Lynette have done a great job of adjusting the health curriculum and room for their healthy eating units. I was in the class a couple of times this week and the kids were in collaborative groups following set procedures to create food while having a blast!
I'd like to thank Tim and the custodian staff for getting a TON of work done over break. Painting, cleaning floors detailing classrooms and much more. Thank you!

The other day IMSA made a surprise visit and came away super impressed with the job Angela Anthony was doing in the Take Flight class, including the discussion for improving the program that took place afterwards.
Thanks to Colleen and Alex for putting together Prizefest for Monday during lunches. Also if you can help chaperone next Friday's dance from 6-8pm it is a great way for the kids to see you in a different light and to make some $. Let colleen or Alex know if you are available.
Not just about running, but about anything you do...
