12-13-2024

 Morgan, April and Stephen did a spectacular job of preparing their band and choir students for our assembly and their evening winter concert before a packed house on Wednesday night. The kids sounded great from beginning to end.


Big shout out to Tim, Frank, Isidrio, the night crew and even some help from the Evergreen custodial 
staff to help with all of our set-ups and take downs from the Board meeting, to the assembly, concert, holiday breakfast and Saturday's Chess tournament  they have gotten a real workout.

I am looking forward to today's holiday breakfast.  It is always nice to get together as a district and bond over food, conversation, laughter and some excellent music from the WCCHS Choir.

This Saturday we have a massive chess tournament right here at BMS.  This has been an annual tradition for many years.  I appreciate all of the work that Coach Wolski has done to get our students ready.  Thanks to Bill and Joe who are working the tournament and to Jessica for getting me NJHS volunteers for concessions.   Please remember to put away valuable/breakable items to be safe.  The rooms will have an adult supervisor and Bill will be checking on on rotations around the building.

Thanks to Michele Davis for putting out the underground teacher spirit week.  It was fun seeing so much participation and seeing if the students would catch on.....

I appreciate Colleen and Lauren going to a potential outdoor ed site this week to get prepared for next year so our students still experience a great trip despite Laredo Taft shutting down.  



I am trucking along with my formal observations!  I still have some open spots for next week if you want to get one done before break.  If you are doing an alternative evaluation please make sure you are making progress toward your goals and maybe plan for an observation after break that ties in with your project/plan.  

I hope everyone wasn't too bored with my school improvement plan presentation.  I did send the reunification document with roles to team leaders so they could share out. I also presented to our mentee teachers a presentation on Time/Management, self-care and focusing on the positive. I may share it with you as the week before break can be stressful. Check it out or not the choice is yours.  



Dr. Filas has been busy going to meet with different teachers about furniture possibilities for next year.  I appreciate his attention to detail and efficiency.  

Thanks to Colleen and Alex for putting together the Student Council Spirit week next week.
