I have shied away from the weekly blog due to time constraints and a few other issues, but I will try to get back into the swing of things on a more occasional basis.
It has been a chaotic start to the school year. I know tensions and frustrations have been high. We truly appreciate everyone working through some of these changes/issues.
We have several activities on the horizon.
Pumpkin Patch Challenge
I would like to send out a staff challenge. Mr. Trevino has granted me the opportunity to create the First Pumpkin Patch Challenge. There will be nice prizes for the lucky winners.
The challenge is as follows.......you are to create a unique Pumpkin/Jack O Lantern shirt to be worn on October 31. The most creative and unique entries will get the prizes. Enter as an individual......enter as a department.....the choice is yours. The only requirement is to have fun.
