• We heard many good reports about success stemming from the squeeze for assignments, but the best I heard was that the class average in ELA 30-1 went from 29% to 63% in one day! Wow!
• Land-Based Learning was a great success overall, although we’ll need to have extra mitts and boots on hand so that our organizer doesn’t freeze next time he gives his things away.
• Student caught with a stash of masks in his hoodie pocket after asking for them all day.
• Our noisy plumber fixed the washer: by closing its door!
•  An EA was assaulted in the Science Lab: someone threw NaCl in his face! (Wasn’t that a salt?)
• Call 911! There are four suspicious looking individuals dressed in camo headed towards the school after the alarm went off! (It turned out that they were deer…)
• Unexpected delight: three little potties were delivered to the school. (Who ordered those?)
• Our secretary was assaulted in the parking lot by the fire chief! (Of course, he didn’t know she was behind that door when he kicked it…)
• Our newest teacher found a back way into attendance when Maplewouldn’t for anyone else! (Way to go, FS!)
• Our division psychologist was called the EA’s dad by the student in her charge (both are AC). (Masks really don’t help, do they?)

Great Things Seen & Heard

• Someone came into the office and said hello to April; I guess we have another new name on staff!
• A student was calling the office from his cell phone during class, pretending to be a parent picking up three boys to go skiing in the middle of the afternoon! Good thing we heard other students call his name in the background!
• While filling out a form, a student wrote his own name on the line marked “school name,” thinking it was supposed to be what people called him at school.
• A parent that regularly communicates with both administrators each week asked our secretary who is admin?
• Our canteen oven is finally fixed, for real this time!
