Yes, the weather is FABULOUS and yes, Chrome Books have been turned in and yes, some behaviors have escalated ANDDDDDDDDDD WE NEED TO FINISH STRONG!  How can we do that, you ask?  I am so glad that you did!  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE to get some fun and creative ways to stay engaged, keep our kids engaged, and finish STRONG!!

Don't miss out on this exciting and engaging PD on September 14, 2019 from 9-3 at Cordelia Hills where you can learn all new ways and ideas for engaging students, increasing your technical knowledge, and all while attending an "unconference"!!  Sign up NOW and don't miss out!  It's going to be FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Well.  We have made it through the 90 DAYS OF MAY.  I swear there are 90 days in this month.  We may have a few scars (I hope these heal over the summer), we may have had many laughs (how can you not just laugh at some of the events and things that our kids say?), and we may have shed a few tears (laughter? anger? stress?).   Please make sure that you have ALL of the dates of everything coming up in the next few days!!
