The Pirate Chest
January 4, 2016
Welcome Back!
Fellow Pirates, I am sure you had a restful and great break. I hope you took time to unplug from school and spend quality time with your family, friends and loved ones. We often get caught up in the daily grind and we overlook those that mean the most to us, support us and encourage us. Let's resolve to make them our top priority in 2016!
Please congratulate Lynn Davis, our new data manager! She starts in her new position January 4. Please be patient and understanding with Lynn as he learns the ins and outs of her new job and PowerSchool! We are excited to have you in the front office.
Mr. Cole is Cool!!
Mr. Cole has done a fantastic job implementing the 1:1 laptops in his class. All of his lessons are computer interactive and require students to use their laptops everyday! He has also been instrumental in supporting the substitute teachers in 7th grade SS by providing lessons and assistance with the laptops! All 7th grade SS students are getting the same lessons. Thank you Mr. Cole. You are AWESOME!!!
Mr. Brown is BOLD!
Mr. Brown has done an excellent job using the laptops and other types of technology and learning platforms. Mrs. Mitchell brags daily on his lesson and the level of student engagement. He also had his kids build some pretty awesome roller coasters! Mr. Brown also took the bus driving class and has earned his CDLs! We appreciate you Mr. Brown and all you do.
Mrs. Bolton is an angel!
I just love this picture of Mrs. Bolton. You can see the compassion she has for the students. She is amazing and has a wonderful calming effect when interacting with the kids. We are lucky to have her on our staff. She is fabulous!!
