Ellen T did another SUPER job on the bulletin board, check it out if you have a chance.
Thanks to Ellen and Kim for sitting down with Color Portraits yesterday to work out some of the problems we were having. Improved service and product will follow.
Two opportunities for involvement: I will be at the West Chicago High School Concert on Thursday night to see our band and choir students. If anyone would like to attend a PTA meeting we have one the same night. 6:30pm in the board room. All you would need to do is sit and listen, parents appreciate when teachers attend. Also on Wednesday Night I will be attending the Foundation Meeting and I know they are looking for new BMS Members, attending a few meetings a year and helping to organize two events are the main responsibilities. Let me know if you would like to attend with me.
Thanks to everyone for taking the 5 Essential survey, students will be taking it soon and please encourage parents to take it if you see any volunteering in the building.
I will check in with everyone who submitted a flexible furniture proposal. I met with Dr. Clark yesterday and will let people know where their proposal stands.
A little different this week, all of my resources will come from books...Old School!
