Fun Fact Friday #17 - NOT a fun fact

BUT NEVER THE LESS…FACT

I posted this last night after talking with a friend who teaches in the Covina Valley School District. She is at one of the middle schools.

She says, “Oh sure, we have a plan ON PAPER but we have never practiced that plan!!!” 

We spend so much energy on things that don't matter. And one day it will be too late. I'm so proud of you Eric for putting our “paper plan” to action. Although it may not yet be perfect, at least IT has been practiced…and “practice makes perfect”...THANK YOU!  To all of you...talk to your students…talk to your kids…talk to your friends…THIS shooting stuff is real!!!  LISTEN to kids when they are upset…and know the signs…tell administrators if you suspect danger…words alone won’t save lives…we have to be active in the process!!!

TGIF…

72 DAYS…and believe me…I am counting now…

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND…

Fun Fact Friday #16 - Girl's Weight Room

WHEN I STARTED HERE, THIS BUILDING WAS USED AS THE GIRL’S WEIGHT ROOM. 

 

IT IS NOW OVER BY THE ACCESS ROAD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 800 CLASSROOMS.  NOT SURE IF IT STORES FOOTBALL GEAR NOW OR NOT, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS COOL THAT I HAD THE NEWSPAPER CLIPPING FROM THE DAILY BULLITEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS…

 

HAPPY 3 DAY WEEKEND…

76 DAYS…
