March 2023

 

Time keeps marching on and March welcomes Spring.

Clocks have been sprung forward yet again, but why?

While Winter Weather lingers into Spring, with Rain and Wind.

The flowers have started to blossom,

Inhaling us with Inspiration.

Filling us with Hope.

As we await the birth of the Sun...

and the Summer months.

March has come marching in!

It is time to transition from Winter into Spring.
It is time to Spring Forward into Daylight Savings Time.
It is time for Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Lent.
It is time for Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day.
It is time for March Madness and, of course, Baseball.

We are 3 months away from the end of the school year.
We are preparing students for testing and assessment.
We are doing all we can to help students learn.
We are collaborating and sharing best practices.
We are getting ready to graduate the Class of 2019.

It is time.  We are ready.
It is time.  We are prepared.
It is time.  We are learning.
It is time.  We are studying.
It is time.  We are teaching.

March 2018

The days continue to grow longer as the seasons transition from the last days of Winter to the first days of Spring.

March has sprung up into our calendars and it is time for students and educators alike to put a spring into their step as we approach the last few months of the school year.

It has already been a busy month as an hour was lost during the spring forward to daylight savings time.

Across the country students organized a student walkout to show support for those students lost in the Florida tragedy.

Women's History Month serves to remind us of the significant contributions women have made in a variety of professional fields, society and human endeavor.

The festivities of St. Patrick's Day, with its green shamrocks, take place as we partake in the celebrations from the Emerald Isle.

Baseball diamonds, from little league to the pros, roll out their green grass fields as we root for our favorite teams.

Madness takes over as brackets are filled and Cinderella stories develop in college basketball.

All this and more goes on in March as education continues its forward progress towards the end of school, the promotion of students into the next grade level, and the class of 2018 prepares to don their caps and gowns and receive their diplomas, certificates and degrees.

As we welcome Spring, and await the arrival of the last school breather known as Spring Break, we take time to do some last course corrections and fix our headings before unfurling our sails towards the sunset of the 2017-18 school year.

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.
