Some thanks

Today’s middle school event was a success. Students visited from exactly the right schools, and while we could have handled more, almost everyone who came walked away with HSAS their first choice, going into the SHSAT next week.

Thanks to

Natalie and Steven ‘06

Adonis, Clelia, and Talina ‘07

Cristina J, Christina H, Dan, and Sergey ‘08

Cindy, CJ, and Lamine ‘09 + surprise appearances by Marlene and Stephanie and Whitney (and Eric, after it ended)!

Anthony, Ariana, Ashani, Janina, Nicole, and Stephanie ‘10 (plus Chelsea came by, a little later)

Ariel, Clarence, Cynthia, Hallie, Jeffrey, John A, Julia, Maddie, Nathan, Rebecca, Sarah C, Shanice ‘11

(Let’s hear it for 2011… that’s a whole lot of volunteers… you guys rock…)

Back in Action

Two years ago, I wrote here all the time. Or maybe just once a week. In any case, it seemed like a lot. Last year, I hardly wrote at all. Like maybe twice? This year? We’ll see, but this is a start.

News? It’s all about schedules, just now. The college classes are done. Almost everything got something high on their list. But I’m still working on the master schedule. Soon. Soon.

Too cold for softball

But I watched anyway. There was a crowd of about a dozen, and none of us glanced over to watch the cricket practice going on.

The girls won by a lot, and everyone did well.

I’ll try to get to at least one away game this year.

Enough orange post-its!

It’s time for the door to reassert itself against the sophomore onslaught.

Yes to corny comics!

Yes to these ridiculous notes!

Yes to articles!

notices!

photos!

No to Orange Post Its!

1 term down

Grades are coming in. Class lists are almost ready. College has started. In five days we all start over, clean slates, clean blackboards.

We don’t appreciate our clean starts enough. School is kinder than the real world. We should notice.

Braids

very very soon

Another year

That’s it tonight. The real thing starts tomorrow.

Senior appointments – not this week

The slips say Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday, but you got them so fast that some of you are wondering whether you need to come in today or tomorrow. Nooooo. Next week.

(if you have college class that is scheduled this week, you still have to come in)

Juniors have schedules, too

Friday the senior schedules were done (more or less – there still will be changes, but mostly minor stuff like PE or recitation)

Yesterday the junior schedules were almost done (still shifting art and service and PE). Not in time to get mailed home, but good progress.

And today the sophomores…. We’ll see how that goes.

Not quite the summer vacation I had in mind…
