5:27 a.m. - Yesterday was a long one! And it all started with finding a dead chicken. Yup, I was in on the playground at ICE helping supervising students before school and there was what appeared to be a small mound of mulch. It seemed weird, so I just went to smooth it out with my foot, and underneath was a dead chicken...what the hell? It was a great conversation piece for the 107 students in attendance that morning. I have now had to dispatch three animals while in my first year as principal - cat, raccoon, and chicken. What really added to the difficulty of the day was the weather - we had our first rain day of the school year, which meant we were in the gym for recess - both the lunch recesses and the all-school recess. I had some visions in my mind that weren't good, but I asked for some advice from the folks who had been there before, and they helped. And to be honest, the students did very well under the circumstances. For us to go this long into the school year and this be the first rain day was actually pretty good. I'd like to avoid back-to-back days, though, so I hope the weather forecast for today is better. And then to top off the day, we had our first night of girls high school basketball - it was a rough night. The second game featured 55 fouls. I thought our crew did pretty well, though.
Today and tomorrow, Amber and I and Ann Danner have bus class. We have to go into the ROE from 5-9 p.m., which is going to not be fun. Geez. I didn't get into the classrooms much yesterday, but I hope I can get into them today.
