5-18-2018

A big thank you to Jessica and Lauren for all of the work they have been doing with NJHS which culminates with today's relay recess.  I'm looking forward to a great event which helps out the American Cancer Society. 

Thanks to Sherry who has been translating documents and was our emergency translator for a parent meeting yesterday.  Going above and beyond to help is much appreciated. 


If you haven't seen the video of Betty's dad on his honor flight trip, here it is. 


Sherry put on quite a fiesta on Tuesday.  What a great way to bring together parents, older students and younger students to celebrate the Spanish culture with food and music.  Thanks to Mr. Turek for helping with the music.


 Congratulations to Danielle and her family on the addition of her daughter born on Tuesday.  What an exciting time they will have  this summer. 

Colleen Morgan's science class was cooking pizzas with their solar ovens on Wednesday, what a great hands on science experiment.


April Tepe did a great presentation for our school board on Monday as she gave an overview of the IMSA Fusion classes including great help from 5th grade student Addison. 

Thanks to Ellen, Kim, Tim, Frank, and Tony for all of the hard work they are doing to help with all school picnic today.  I'm sure it will be a fun event.  If you can help serve before you eat let Ellen or Kim know.

I will send out the extra-duty sign up on Monday for next year. 

Please remember to start thinking about room clean up.  Melissa and I will be checking rooms before the end of the year, Marking your furniture and taking a picture of how your room is set-up also helps the custodians to get it set-up the way you want it at the beginning of the year.

A big thank you to Namita for the great job she did with our success track kids. 

"In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you'll dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it to the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused."
Ernest Hemingway
