Weekly News and Notes


 Good afternoon,

Thank you all for everyone's efforts this week in keeping our building normal. This week was indeed difficult, even without vacation and holidays looming at the outset; I'd be lying if Monday and Tuesday weren't a surreal, in many ways, for me, and probably some of you, as we returned to school following the events of last week. We were able to work through the week with relative ease and without much incident - we returned to normalcy very quickly. For that, we owe each of you and the efforts you put in your classrooms a debt of gratitude.

Today was incredibly quiet and very routine, as days before a vacation go. As I wandered the corridors, and got notes back from the Hall Duty folks, students were in class, and those that were out were quickly making their to and fro' the appropriate destinations - again, a credit to whatever was happening in class today. For that, I think we are all genuinely appreciative. As Voltaire said, "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well."

No educational links, videos, or resources in this week's notes. Just a sincere thanks for what you do every day, and the hope that you will all enjoy some time with family and friends in the coming days and week, and that you are all able to recharge for the stretch run to the end of the second quarter.

As an aside, a couple of things that will hopefully make you smile:







Enjoy the time off, and see you in 2013!
