So many things are happening around here!
First, a huge thank you and a woo-hoo to my speech contest contestants! Levi Ricabal, Triton Gaster, Meredith McGuire, and Nathan Jones represented our 7th grade, and Kinley Scott, Grayson Waters, and Kavan Lee represented 8th grade. They worked around basketball, cheer leading, drama practice, and sickness to do an excellent job at the Lee County Soil and Water public speaking contest this past Wednesday. 8th grade first place went to Grayson Waters, second place went to Kinley Scott, and third place went to Kavan Lee. 7th grade first place went to Triton Gaster, and second place went to Meredith McGuire. I'm beyond proud of them, and I can't wait til next year!
It's BoosterThon time!!! Please go to funrun.com and register your child for this annual fundraiser that combines fun with fundraising! My homeroom students: go on and register! We want to be the first class with 100% of our students registered!! The Color Run is on Friday, February 14, so please help us pray for good weather for that day, and please pray that we will be fully funded. We are raising funds for a new bus!
My 7th and 8th graders are learning the ins and outs of proper usage. It's hard to teach this, as our country is dealing with a usage crisis. Despite what the internet says, "alright", "ain't", "alot", and the misuse of the word "apart" have no place in our writing. Yet we soldier on, teaching middle schoolers the proper way to speak and to write.
6th graders - off we shall go to adjective land!
I really, really love my job.
Love and blessings,
KD
