Thursday, October 3

5:27 a.m. - Yesterday was another busy one, and we survived at ICE with first-time substitute as our building secretary, which is no small feat.  That secretary job is an integral part of how are day functions and thrives, so being a sub is not easy; having it be the first time the sub is in the building really isn't easy.  Last night I had our first parent/guardian information night as well.  I conducted three presentations starting at 5 p.m..  I wouldn't call the effort a complete success, as the turnout from folks was pretty small, but it wasn't a failure either.  I would say there were about 15 parents that attended, and that's 15 parents that received the information that are now more knowledgeable about the building, and they now have more information that they can share with their friends and family.  Plus yesterday, I got campground reservations made for this weekend and the last full week of October out at Loud Thunder.  I'm going to get the camper out there this evening after school.  

So what will today bring?  Of course, that's always a loaded question because each day seems to bring with it something new and something surprising.

Wednesday, October 2

5:53 a.m. - Another day, another day.  On the other hand, I found out that my game at Sherrard on Thursday is not going to happen, so that means I'm going to get the camper out to Loud Thunder Thursday after school.  That's a good thing!

Yesterday was also the first day with our Mrs. Zampogna as the office secretary, and we survived.  Now we just need to get through three more days.  Today is the big day, though, as our secretary replacement today is brand new to the building.  Tonight I also have that parent information night that I'm interested to see how it works out.

Tuesday, October 1

5:28 a.m. - We had two junior high girls basketball games last night...typical junior high girls basketball games - a billion whistles, a long night, but it was fun to be with Tony and see Jason.  All that came after a long day at school.  I did have a meeting with Mr. Bush, and I think I'm going to get a paraprofessional added to the building, which will help.  Also, yesterday I completed a formal observation of Rachel Johnson.

Today, Mrs. Zampogna is gone, and she'll be gone the rest of the week.  This will be an adventure.  I'm also heading back to Williamsfield - this time for volleyball.  This is going to be another long day.
