We are almost there!!
Big thanks to Janice for running the 24 Tournament this past Friday. If you don't know what 24 is...it's a tournament for 4th grade math in which groups of 4 kids are given a card with four numbers on it (see sample pictures below), and they compete against each other within the group to see who can come up with an equation using all 4 numbers that equals 24. Kent, Kelli, and I had the opportunity to judge the 64 kids, and it was a good time! There were some tears ("I had that! I knew it!"), some tension ("uh....uh.....what is it....?"), and lots of "YES!"s when kids got it. Thanks for the coordination, Janice, and good luck to those 16 kids who go on to Cloverleaf.

Biggest changes -- Addition of Improvement Plans and potential removal of staff; BLEA President does not need to be IN the Improvement Plan meetings, but does need to sign off on the plan.
- Coaching with Amy Moore-- I've sent your dates. I have a call with Amy tomorrow at 2:00 to do some coordination for Junior High. Let me know if you'd like me to mention anything for your buildings.
- Board Updates-- Don't forget to do your Board Updates and put them in this folder so Vicki can pull for Board meetings. HS is currently missing for tomorrow's meeting.
- A-Team-- Book Study this week (Ch. 7, 8, and 9). We are also going to have cake for Jim K's retirement at 11:30. Remember to get your $$ for gift cards for him to Amy by tomorrow!!
