Welcome: Shannon Thompson
Hello everyone! This is my first year as a TA at Granville Academy and I'm super excited to be a PIRATE!
I received my teaching assistant certification from VGCC in 2006 and also studied dental assisting at UNC Chapel Hill in 2002! Go Tar Heels! I have worked as a TA in Granville and Vance County Schools.
Outside of working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and daughter! I love the beach, shopping, being outdoors, gardening and attending Carolina Tar Heels football and basketball games!
I'm looking forward to an awesome year at Granville Academy!
Poem by Madison Milligan
Death, a darkness that never leaves
Death, hides in your sleeves
The enemy that lights the dark path to the end
The enemy that no one can comprehend

Ode Poem 1 by Mary Taylor
Your first words were like a song
That sung a precious lullaby to my woken ears,
It woke me up in the night
Though it was not my job,
I treat you as if you are mines
Because in my eyes you are,
No wrong can be done by you
No wrong shall be done to you,
Love for a nephew is like love for your child
Unconditional and pure.
Your eyes are like the light bulb
That lights my room as i walk into it,
Looking into them hurts me,
I never wanna see the world hurt you
The way the world has hurt me,
The pain the world has to offer is unbearing
Monsters walk these streets,
Secrets haunt the halls of the city
The world is loaded with distrust,
So you must protect yourself from it’s pain.
I will not always be around to guide you
Nor show you right from wrongs,
Although I will always be an open ear to listen
A secret securer,
A shoulder to cry on
A teddy bear to hold,
Auntie’s love is pure
Can never be replaced nor denied,
Your eyes are forever innocent
Your smile is my sun.
My sister gave me the perfect gift
One that was never expected,
A star is what you are
Your such an entertainer,
A comedian at times
A actress at others,
A backup singer when needed
But a lover at most,
A heart of gold
A innocent mind.
When I look at you I see myself
The way you smell your food before you eat it,
The face you make before you cry
A spitting image of myself,
Your vibe is my vibe
Smooth as the ocean,
Sweeter than sugar
As bitter as salt,
When I look at you I see my myself
Your innocent in my eyes.

Weekly Message from the MS Teachers:
- I have attached the checklists for each grade level, and they have also been posted on Google Classroom for students to access.
- Thursday (10/17) is an early release day. All students must be picked up by 12pm. Please make sure that you arrive on time to pick up your student.
- Students may start staying for tutoring this week on Mondays (Mary Potter) and Wednesdays (Tar River) until 3pm. We encourage students who are behind and/or need extra help to stay. Students are also welcome to stay if they would like a quiet work environment and internet access to get their work done.
- There will be Science Olympiad practice this week on Tuesday (Mary Potter) and Wednesday (Tar River) until 2:30pm.
- There are only about 2 weeks left before the end of the first nine weeks. If you student is behind or has any missing work, they need to make sure they complete it as soon as possible. At Granville Academy, we have cumulative grades, but their averages will still go on their report cards and be used in determining things like honor roll and student of merit.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions!
