May 30 - Last Weekly Notes
Thank you Peter G, Dan B, Janet, Brian, Rachel and others for helping to prepare students and the gym for the Memorial Day Observance. And, thanks to everyone else for helping to manage the audience. It went off smoothly because of your efforts.
I could thank each of you over and over for the many ways you've helped this year. There are so many countless ways to thank you for your hard work and diligence this year from stepping up in a pinch to substitute for a colleague, helping to organize events like the Elmore Hike or Service Day, supporting a student in a crisis, staying after or coming in early to help a student make up an assignment, answering the phones in the office, or staying up all night to get your lesson plan just right. Your efforts have been noticed and appreciated. It's been a hard year, mostly because of our shifting approach to school. I thank you for working through our many challenges with grace, fortitude, and patience for each other. It's also been a good year, Thank You for great year!
End of Year is soon upon us:

Below are a few key things to remember for the upcoming weeks.
Tuesday, please announce in TA the M3 Invitation process opportunity.
Thursday - Senior Class Trip
Friday - Band/Chorus Trip to Great Escape
Please submit your Last Chapel Awards ASAP if not done already.
Please also let Janet know if you expect to attend this year's graduation. PA Alumni Tyler Ludington will be giving the commencement speech.
On June 13th, Tuesday or Finals Week, current 8th graders will visit you in your classroom to share their PLP with you. Please be prepared for this visit. It should take less than a 1/2 hour and is a great time for you to get to know them. On Friday, June 16th , we all welcome the 8th graders to HS at the conclusion of their Last Chapel. Phil will lead the presentation, you just need to be there from roughly 11-11:35/40. And, check last week's notes and BP notes for Finals expectations.
