Greetings All,
Welcome to this evening edition of the weekend building hours. I hope that your weather altered week has gone well. The temperatures for Sunday are predicted to hover near 70 degrees. That could only mean one thing; there will probably be a blizzard arriving soon. There are a number of events launching us into the weekend. The winter sports season continues to wind down with conference tournaments. On stage, the presentation of the Marvel One Acts has delighted audiences. In support of our school community endeavors we are always proud to shout "Go Panthers !"
The building hours for February 23-24, 2019 are posted below. Provisions are in place for all activities including the evening play performance on Saturday.
Before closing, please allow me to take a moment in recognition of educators across the nation. These have certainly been some tumultuous times with respect to labor actions involving teachers. The value of educating a child should remain one of our paramount principles. Yet, in acknowledging that tremendous responsibility, I worry about the future of our public school systems. It is within those academic parameters that the majority of our children are educated. However, in many instances the complex issues facing those systems continue to grow in scope. Teacher salaries remain a strong point of contention. Budgetary shortfalls, questionable curriculums and even the roles of charter schools serve to complicate the landscape. We also recognize that in their efforts to educate students, teachers are often confronted with issues extending far beyond the classroom. Hence, I found the article shared by Susanna regarding The Apollo School program to be very encouraging. While every child will not attend Harvard, we are obligated to prepare all of them for a rapidly evolving world.
Thank you my friends for everything that you do.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
Ken
