Spring Break 2017

It is almost Spring Break at school, but before we all check out for a well deserved few days of rest and recreation, let's take a look back at what has been accomplished thus far this year, and look at what is yet to be accomplished in the weeks ahead, until we reach that end-of-the-year ceremony (no, not prom) graduation.

Two thirds of the school year is over.  The plans that teachers developed last summer, long ago, have by now been repealed, replaced, recycled, adapted and re-adopted to meet the learning needs of the students in the classrooms.  Students have endured a long winter where friendships have formed over many rainy day indoor recesses, classroom field-trips and activities, lab partners and  group work.

The final third of the year begins with Spring break and ends in celebration for those who achieve that final goal of education, graduation, when we honor students hard work and perseverance as they set forth to meet new challenges that will guide them to higher education and a career in their profession.

To all educators, students, parents, teachers, administrators...

Have a Safe and Wonderful

#SpringBreak

March 2017

We are now in the middle of March and spring time is upon us.

By now we have adjusted out clocks to Daylight Savings time as we Spring forward towards the few final months of the school year.

As educators we try to avoid becoming as mad as the March Hare as students begin to feel that summer is getting near.

We take a day to honor "our" Irish heritage by wearing green and sporting shamrocks and trinkets that add to the festivities of St. Patrick's Day.

College basketball fans fill and check their brackets as the many tournaments take place.

Soon, there will be baseball fans that go "root-root-root for the home team", as teams wrap up their Spring training and get set for the season.

March marches on and we go along with it as we dig deep down for that last stretch of education that leads to graduation, promotion, and placement into classes for the next year.
