Keller High Graduation
We are doing such incredible work at Florence. Your dedication to the whole child and to each students' progress and success is admirable. Teaching is hard work. It is work that is more important then any work out there. Our work touches the future - it creates the thinkers, doers, and workers that will lead us and take care of this world.
Thanks for a great year and for committing your time and talents to each one of our Florence Falcons. You are very much appreciated!
Love,
Laura

Summer PD:
In addition to Keller U, on-line, Professional Books, and reviewing new curriculum....check out the newsletter on Coding from the district. Shelly Shaw and Vicki Arrington have some great ideas and information on how to help students learn about coding. Maybe we could all participate in the nation wide hour of coding this upcoming year. Just something to think about....click on the following to access the Coding Corner, if you are interested.
