Catching up

A brief summary to play catch-up and then maybe I'll be able to post current thoughts.

A week and two days of what is known in the educational field as 'pee-dee' (Professional Development), some of it with the staff at my school, some of it with the whole network of 4 schools.

Three days of Freshman and New Student Retreat at Stanford. A great experience. Check out Challenge Day. It's an amazing program, and made the whole exhaustion of shepherding 15 ninth graders for three days completely worth it. If you ever have the chance to be part of a Challenge Day, do it.

One week of school.

Done!

Now we're in the three day weekend, leading to the short 2nd week of school.

I'll try to get back into some sort of regular posting. Hope you're all well and happy.

BTW, doesn't the new Republican VP scare you? I don't want to be all about fear politics, but in this case, voting your hopes and not your fears amounts to the same thing: we can't let McC & P into the White House!
