The week of January 16th is bookended by some noteworthy events:
Monday, January 16th-School is closed for students. Teachers will be here working on various professional development activities. I wish our students an enjoyable three-day weekend!
Friday, January 20th-KEHSA brings our students “Author Day.” We will be welcoming author Tom Birdseye, who will be speaking to our students at assemblies on Friday. This will be a great experience for our students, and we are grateful to KEHSA for providing it!
Tom Birdseye was a huge success! Teachers and students alike loved his presentation. His inpiration can be seen in small ways all over the school. From the students who cut their pens in half so the could keep them in their pocket, to the boxes or drawers started with all those scraps of paper, all makes for great writing! I just want to especially thank Mrs. Laura Coyne for all her hard work and dedication to Author Day. We should be receiving those signed books very soon!
