PD Day
COLOR RUN
Wow, Ms. Laviaguere and I had an amazing time having all of our students douse us with color on Monday afternoon. While I still had some color coming out of my ears and nose the next day, it was a blast. It appeared that our students were having fun too. All because we surpassed our goal during our recent Booster fundraiser!! We then had the top 10 earners pour some water on us!! Check out some photos below. Hmmm, what will next year bring??
SAC
We had our first SAC meeting of the year on Monday afternoon. A huge shout out to our returning SAC members as well as our four new members. We discussed many items, such as our iReady and CMAS data, facts about the upcoming Bond/Mill Levy, and the election of officers.
LOCKDOWN DRILL
We had our first of two lockdown drills on Wednesday morning for the year. During a staff meeting that morning our district security personnel went over procedures and details and then at 9:30, we conducted the drill. Our security personnel and Douglas County Sherrifts shared that our staff and students did an outstanding job!
CHOIR
Ms. Muller, our excellent music teacher, has already begun working with our students in the choir. She has a record turnout of choir members and I am so excited to listen to their first performance soon. Something to mark on your calendars is when they sing during our lunch blocks, on November 10th, when we honor our Veterans. Never too early to invite our Veterans to lunch on that day!
PD DAY
Tomorrow, while your children are sleeping in, playing with their friends, and hanging out with you for an extended weekend, our teachers will be busy diving into some writing training. These Professional Development Days (PD Days) are so useful to our teachers as they have time to learn, work with their colleagues, and plan lessons to best meet the needs of all of our CME students!
Have a wonderful long weekend. Looks like another beautiful one!
