Tuesday, March 20

Good day Fellow Falcons,
I want to get some special events out now so we're all on the same page.  We have some valuable events that will add value to our students' time in the following weeks. Please see below.  There are several links if you'd like to check them. I'll make this a regular feature of my weekly notes. 


Upcoming Events:

April 23 - Save a Life Tour (HS only)  See link for company details.  We will have an assembly schedule, so periods will be shortened by just a few minutes.  Students will have access to driving simulators during learning labs or lunches. The assembly schedule I have in the master is currently for middle and high, so I'll be modifying it for this event.

May 2 - Funding the Future Show     This is a program that's being brought to us free of charge.  I will make a special schedule for this day, so minimal class time will be lost.

May 11 - Jared Campbell (MS only).  Jared has been with a few times to great reviews. He will be visiting the Middle School along with the Elementary School. A modified MS schedule will be shared shortly.

Date TBD (early May) - Seneca County Sheriff Mock Crash   This annual event is sponsored by the Sheriff's office.  It's after the prom this year, but the learning experience will be valuable.
*See note below.

May 8 - Health Fair - Anne and I are working on a couple of schedule ideas.
Please check this document.  It has both schedule ideas on it, and you can comment.

* All events are listed on the calendar tab of the master with the exception of the Seneca County event. That will be posted there once the date is set. If we were able to get the fire department to help with our own mock crash event, we wouldn't need to run older kids up north.  I'll keep you informed on that.


Falcons' Nest Phone
The Falcons' Nest has been equipped with a phone.  The extension is 4112.  The nest is working out well so far, and behavior has been appropriate. Students know that one person can ruin it for all.  If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
