Great Things Seen & Heard

  • 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?)
