Blaze Bulletin
Edition 13 Week of November 20th
Greetings...
Dear teachers/staff:
It was fun to see so many seniors enjoy PJ day, senior breakfast, & celebration of Senior Superlatives today. They really were a great group this morning, and I just wanted to take a minute to give them a shout out - Go Blaze Seniors!
Have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week for a short week!

Important Reminder....

Thanks to each and everyone of you who donated.
Since I am a genius, I forgot to write down how many entries each of you get in the drawings for prizes. PLEASE send me an email to tell me how many entries you should receive--remember $50 = 1 Entry for prizes!!
You can just put the number as the message. Sorry for my error on this, but I really do appreciate all you do to help and support both me and every one in our county. You do make a difference with all our students!
Teacher Spotlight....Ms. Recasner & Mr. Knipp
Classroom pictures are of a crime scene scenario I created for my students to learn the duties of a first responder (police officer), crime scene photographer, sketch artist for drawing rough sketches of a crime scene and evidence collection investigators.
The competition pictures were from the Middle TN Criminal Justice Invitational that me and Mr. Knipp's students participated in after many hours of practice after school. We placed in the following categories:
1st - Trivia/Knowledge Challenge
3rd - Police Domestic Response
3rd - Felony Traffic Stop
4th - Appellate Court Arguments
We placed 4th Overall competing against Riverdale, McGavock, Stewarts Creek, Smyrna, Hendersonville, Eagleville, Siegel and LaVergne.
