Hello Rain My Long Lost Friend

Wow!!!  When it rains, it literally pours.  We welcome the moisture though.  Hope all the ponds fill back up.  I hate seeing beautiful ponds down so low and looking so bleak and dry.  Maybe today will help.
The JH basketball teams play in the Cheyenne/Hammon Tournament tonight at Hammon at 5 and 6 and both teams play Burns Flat/Dill City JV.  Good Luck!
This week is Freedom Week and we have a Veteran's Day Assembly on Friday.

Thursday or Friday??!!

Hello basketball fans!! Finally the season has started, and it started with a big win for all four teams (JH boys and girls and 5th and 6th grade boys and girls) on Tuesday.   We've begun the season great!! The JH boys and girls play here today against Sentinel. We have a short week this week because of a Professional Day for the teachers tomorrow, so today could be considered a Friday! Thank goodness for daylight savings time coming up on Sunday because I need a few extra zzz's. The FCCLA banquet is on Saturday.  Older high school kids have been putting up decorations in the cafeteria.  They look pretty cool.  I can't wait till I'm old enough to be a part of that.   Enjoy tomorrow off if you're a kid--  sorry if you're a teacher.  But at least your day will be kid-less and more relaxed than normal.  Have a great weekend!!

Can't Believe It's Over

Well I can't hardly believe it's over!!  I think this phrase applies to lots of things in my life--the Centennial, the 5K, the 1st 9wks, the hot weather, softball, and baseball.  A quick note on each:  The Centennial was GREAT.  The Chamber did an awesome job putting all of that together.  The 5k had a super turn-out and was a success, I think.  It was a lot of work and I am glad it's over!!  (LOL)  The 1st 9wks has flown by.  Some kids did not get their book reports done and are taking zeros as a result.  I think when they see their final grade, they will regret that choice.  So very glad it has cooled off and we received some rain.  I love FALL!!!! And finally, again, congrats to both our softball and baseball teams--Class B State Runner's Up.  Super Job!!  They have set the bar high for basketball!!  All of these things were good, but are over.  So I'm putting them behind me, and I'm moving on.  So ready and excited for FALL BREAK!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!

Man!!!  What a fast week!!  So much is going on getting ready for the Centennial that I can barely catch my breathe!!  Lots of fun activities, so check them out on Saturday.
Monday, Oct. 17th is the last day for book reports for all 3 classes.  They must give me two oral book reports and take the AR test for each.  BR grade goes down twice, so it's 3 zeros per book report if the student doesn't get it done!  Journals, DOL's, and WOS's are due Monday also for the different classes.  Check with your child and see if those assignments pertain to them. 
Today was a catch up day with the 7th and 6th grade.  The 8th grade had an assignment over "Barbara Frietchie" p.166=literature questions due tomorrow.
