Thanks to Melissa for organizing our virtual veterans day celebration and to Angela, Chris, Danielle Matthew, and April for working together to make it happen. The video was outstanding. It is below if you didn't get to see it.
I never shared this awesome parade that Sherry did with the help of Angela and Megan P. Such acting talent by our staff and the kids had a blast.
How about a round of applause for our teaching assistants. They have been tremendous over the past couple weeks of in-person instruction and will adapt to giving online support for the near future. We couldn't do it without you.
Jessica did a great job with her crack reporters on this latest issue of the Tiger Times. Please consider her request to incorporate it into lessons if possible. Also thanks to Jessica for sharing the snapshot feature in AR, hopefully teachers can use that to motivate students.

As we move into remote learning next week I want to thank you for the hard work you put into hybrid instruction....as Arnold said "We will be back" well, he said "I'll be back" but that doesn't fit the point I am trying to make. Remember, before we moved into hybrid you guys were saying "We're just getting good at this" (Remote Learning) You have the skills, remember your tools and lets make connections with those kids. Your adaptability is tremendous and I appreciate all you do to help students. Let me know how I can help you, help your students.
