June and the Homestretch

When June rolls around it never fails to bring that feeling of approaching the finish line. There is something about humid afternoons in stuffy classrooms, daylight until late, and invasions of mosquitoes to signal the end of another school year. It is always a bit of a tease though. The end is near, but there is always so much to do before crossing the finish line.

I am so busy I can barely write something for this week. There are several Staff members who are retiring or leaving. So goodbye events and gifts are on everyone's mind. We are also thinking about awards for students, Final grades, and advisee day out at the end of the year. On top of this we also are looking at the schedule and classes for next year, hiring new staff members, and our end of the year checklist for what needs to be done before we leave. The only thing that helps with all of this are the half days for Finals. There are 7 days left, but 6 of them are half days and the other one is advisee day out. That time is needed to complete some of the things that need to be done.

Next week I will see presentations around Native American Rights, Psychological Disorders, World War Two History website, and Current Ethical Dilemmas. We will graduate the Seniors, and give them awards and see them off on their next big adventure! In the meantime, I have grading to finish up and awards to prepare. Still trying to finish that memorial for Mr. Goddard as well. That may have to wit for completion until later this summer. My body is aching for some rest and I am really looking forward to our trip to France 2 days after school ends! More next week!
