Great Things Seen & Heard

  • The student who just had a baby has the same name as the teacher who had a baby in March, so poor TR was almost accused of memory loss!
  • Dancing boots are important to have so that the muck on working boots doesn’t fly into your mouth on a deep swing, not to mention the danger of spurs…
  • The danger of masks: a staff member was accosted by a student at the post office, but it turned out to be a joke!
  • We have twins in the office. Whose, you say? They’re Bromeliads of course…
  • The value of working hard: over a 24-hour period, one student went up to 70% from 45% in ELA!
  • We have all been practicing forgiveness for the pickle thief, but I think it could be like the boy who cried wolf in the future…
