A Week Of Learning

This week was awesome. The students and the teachers harmoniously worked to extend their learning. The promise of an altered week kept each Spartan excited and buzzing.
Our student week culminated with our first Safety Expo. There were so many presenters and stations the children were thrilled. The feedback I received from each student, teacher and presenter warmed my heart.
Congratulations goes out to Mrs. Dorian Bennett. She took an idea and used her creative energy and vision to manifest what has been since declared "The First Annual Safety Expo!"
Now we are taking a 15 minute break from Day 3 of our Learning Focused training. I knew our teachers were talented but I was blown away by the variety of raps, ballads and folk songs that our teachers used to try to convince one another that their particular learning strategy was the best.
Finally, tomorrow is the Lake Forest High School Homecoming Parade and Game. We will be there in the parade with our theme. My alter ego will have the honor of announcing the game. Have a great weekend. It is great to be a Spartan!
