This past week has been one of acknowledgment and accomplishment. Wednesday night, we had many of our students participate in the Tuolumne County "History Day" competition. Our students had many great projects, and special congratulations to Sarah Peterson who took third for her paper on mining, and Johnathan Olsen and Tyler Inwood with their project on the impact of the John Deere tractor took first place! John and Tyler now go to Pasadena to represent Tuolumne County at the State level competition! Super work guys, and nice picture on the front page of the newspaper!
Also in the newspaper were the results of the Pinecrest Invitational ski/board tournament I wrote about earlier. Included in the article was a picture of Danny Kelsay, one of our 2nd grade skiers! Good day for Twain Harte in the local media!
Last night I attended the "Employees Who Make a Difference" Awards presentation. This is an annual award given out by the Tuolumne County Association of California School Administrators. We were proud to nominate Sharon Gianelli from Pinecrest School, Michelle Dake from the district office, and Kathleen Olsen from Twain Harte Middle School. These folks (along with everyone else at our schools!) really do make a difference in our student's lives.
When I finished up with the awards banquet, I then returned back to school to catch what I could of the Family Talent Show, and spaghetti feed that B.O.T.H. was sponsoring. There was a great turn out, but by the time I got there, it was nearly over. I did get to see the grand finale act, however. Dylan, a 7th grader, balanced a 4-layer cake on his head for one minute! It was death defying! Everyone seemed to have a good time, and I'm looking forward to seeing the video, as I've heard rumors of an act titled "Ode to an Armpit." I'm sure the actors' parents must be so proud...
