The Friday Memo (Saturday Edition)

Happy Saturday!

I usually publish this post at the end of the day on Friday.  However, I had two back-to-back birthday parties to get my daughter to, so being Daddy had to come first.  I'm sure you parents understand!

Please remember that we will have a brief faculty meeting at 3:40 Monday afternoon in Kathy Pirtle's room.  I'll go over all announcements and important information then.

Have a fabulous weekend!

The Friday Memo - Thursday Edition

Good Afternoon!

Just a couple of quick announcements before we head out of here for a much-deserved long weekend:

1. There will be no faculty meeting when we return Tuesday.

2. I will have all of your lesson plan notebooks ready to give back to you by the end of the day Tuesday.  I have really enjoyed reading about the many great things you are doing in your classrooms!

3. Lesson plans are due next week for 6th grade teachers and any 8th grade teachers who haven't gotten them in yet (yes, you get a pass because of DC!).  This should put us back on track -- please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

4. Remember to continue to find ways to implement writing across the curriculum.  I have been so pleased to see this in many of our classes - keep it up!

I would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to our DC chaperons: Kathy Pirtle, Kathy Moody, Elisa Bowden, Rebecca Helms, Barbara Littlepage, Trip Franklin, Randy Ragsdale, and Dann Cleveland.   You guys, along with our tour guides and students  were AWESOME!  What a great trip!  

I have an idea: Let's do it again next year!

Have a great weekend!
