Returning Novels
When collecting novels from students, please make sure to issue obligations for books that are so damaged that we cannot re-issue them. Please separate these books and mark them "for disposal."
Please follow this procedure - Please separate these books. Mark each one with the following information: Mark them for disposal, indicate your name and the student name. Please state whether you issued an obligation for the book. You can put this info on a post-it and attach it to each book that needs to be taken out of circulation.
Here is an example of a book that was recently returned. Things like this - water damage, pages missing or ripped, etc., should be marked for disposal.
Fantastic Things...
Our 2nd Annual "After Hours Faculty Talent Show" was a great success! I was sitting too far away to get good shots, so send me your pics and I will post them here! Congrats to Christine Sullivan for successfully organizing and staging this event! Our department was represented so many talented teachers - They made us so proud!
Our Spring Musical, Mamma Mia, was incredible! Congrats to our own Christie Lotz on her first endeavor as assistant director!
The Boys Of Summer
Chris and I started coaching our town's 5th & 6th-grade baseball team this week! We are the Mets again this year! I am glad to report that my pitching staff is stacked and I have one boy that throws "LIKE A MAN." No joke, he is terrifying... Chuck decided to wear shorts to practice (against the advice of his coach, and mother). So, when we had "sliding" practice, he ended up with huge strawberries on the back of his leg! Lesson learned, or not. Maybe he will listen to mom next time, however, somehow, I don't think so...
