What a great party last night!

I wanted to thank everyone who participated in the pizza party/mock competition last evening. Everyone worked hard and did well. I think we'll blow the socks off our competitors at Monday's NLC match.

Thank you for making my day yesterday by showing up for the morning practice on time (or nearly on time, that is) and for such an enjoyable evening. I missed those who weren't able to attend, and hope that everyone will be able to attend the next two Monday competitions.

I'll be bringing donuts along with 2% milk, so make sure you are early/on time on Monday morning.

On Monday: turn in Friday's practice lists and any other lists you still have. Cally will be providing the words for Monday...have a great weekend!

Upcoming Event!! Pizza Party – Mock Competition

This coming Friday, October 9th, we will be having our annual Pizza Party/Mock Competition right after school until 5:30p.m. There will be pizza, chips, brownies, cookies, pop (Coke products as always) and tableware. Everyone is welcome to bring a favorite pop or other food item, just let me know.

I'm looking forward to a time of preparation and team building for NLC and Area competitions that are right around the corner. I'm also hoping to have a bit of fun, too! Suggestions are welcome before the end of the day on Thursday as to any particular activity you've found beneficial in the past.

Oh, I almost forgot - prizes will be handed out!

Indy bound...and random thoughts...

Hey everyone, hope you survive bibleninja's list Wednesday morning. I'll be thinking of you while Mrs. S. and I drive down to the Academic Coaches conference. Please listen attentively to bibleninja as he relays important information about the next few weeks. I'll try to post when I get home from the conference, and also give a brief overview of what I've learned regarding Spell Bowl and the English Academic team.

PLEASE encourage your friends and enemies (combined I think it's called 'frenemies' these days) to be a part of our Academic teams. Of course, I'd love for all of you to be a part of the English team, but if you want to participate in one or more of the other teams, that's fine too.

I should have time to get caught up with Spell Bowl later this week.

Have a great day, stay positive, study, study, study, spell, spell, spell.

Mrs. V.

P.S. Sorry, bibleninja, about not posting. I'll try to post more often.

First post...

Hello everyone, I've decided to create a blog where we can hopefully communicate more often during the week. Our time together in the morning always seems so rushed, and I usually have several things I want to mention, but never get to everything.

Please comment here to let me know you can access this blog by 9pm Sunday evening (9/27).

Check back here often, as I'll be posting reminders, important information, etc.

Mrs. V.
