VIP

It was great to have our VIP/Virtue assemblies on Friday. It's nice to recognize students who are doing a good job, not just academically, but behaviorally. Thanks to Mr. Calbert who helped run the VIP assembly at Black Oak. There are many traditions (wink, songs, secret handshakes, etc.) that I need to come up to speed on, and I appreciate the help! Same goes for Mrs. Anderson whispering in my ear for the virtue assembly at THMS. Thanks also to the McDonald family for providing the Pizza Factory certificates for our winners.

On another note, I was felling a little grumpy on Thursday after I had to chew on some students because their behavior was not up to snuff. As I was walking back to my office, Mrs. Gold's class class was playing "Leaves and Pumpkins" (Duck, duck, goose, for you lay people). I noticed an open spot in the circle, and decided to have a seat. Nothing like a good game of leaves and pumpkins with kindergartners and first graders to make you forget misbehaving 7th graders!
