Remember to SHARE YOUR AMAZINGNESS! If you didn't already notice, this week's Redhawk Reflection was shared by Alayna Macalla and the next post will also be from an amazing teacher on our campus. Please share your ideas so we can all benefit! The template for a Redhawk Reflection is on our staff google classroom! :) Let me (Meredith) know if you submit one so that I can schedule it to go out on our staff blog! :)
Linda Yajima continues to need to be out on leave. The district has given us the go-ahead to hire someone to fill the Special Education secretary position here at Rennell. We will begin interviewing for this spot soon. If you are interested and would like to be considered for this position, please let Meredith know.
Thankfulness!

Destination Imagination Appraiser
Our campus has 2 DI teams this year! Each team must have at lease one staff member attend DI Appraiser Training and serve as an Appraiser at the Gulf Coast Tournament. Training and 6 hours at the tournament gives 9 hours of PD credit. Each DI team must provide one Appraiser for the tournament, but they discourage using parents from the team as the Appraiser would likely miss seeing their child present. Any takers? Let me know!
