Update on the past weeks events!

Hello students and parents,
I apologize for my absence over the past few weeks.  This was not my intention, however, due to fall break, drug awareness week, harvest fest, and teacher - conference, there were many changes to the class schedule and I wanted to make sure the information I posted was accurate and relevant.  Not an excuse, :) just a reality. 

As for this past events, Harvest fest was a huge success, parent -teacher conferences continue into this week, which is absolutely inspiring, and we have enjoyed, and cherished each conference. Drud awareness week left me speechless. On Monday, I collected each classes homework from the weekend, we finished with class discussion and I told the students to keep studying their notes as the rest of the week would be devoted to Drug Awareness.  To begin last week I gave the eighth graders two assignments:
  1.  Complete a 31 question quiz on their knowledge and understanding of drugs and the harmful side effects.
  2. Complete a drawing to support the, "Just Say No," campaign.
  3.  Prepare for Career Day Field Trip on Friday.

We had the pleasure of meeting two Border Patrol Agents on Wednesday.  These gentlemen stayed for each of my classes (8:30 - 11:30)

With each passing day I realize the importance of our school based on Character, Education, and the betterment of our school society.  I am so blessed to be a part of the positive atmosphere, priceless leadership, and wonderfully individual student body.

More to come,
Ms. Van Borkulo
