QUOTE  OF  THE  WEEK:

I think people that have a brother or sister don't realize how lucky they are. Sure, they fight a lot, but to know that there's always somebody there, somebody that's family.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park, Cat Orgy, 1999

K) Homecoming 2007 is the week of September 17.  Find those streamers and pom poms !!?!??

 

L) October10 is our North Iowa Conference Professional Development Day at NIACC.   The planning committee will be meeting in the very near future to put the final touches on the day and the follow-up.  Daryl Scott will be our keynote speaker.  His daughter was Rachel Scott.  Rachel was the first child killed in the Columbine High School shootings in late April, 1999.  The following day a team of trainers from the Rachel Scott Foundation will work with our middle school students.  This all ties directly to the Bullying/Harassment conversations we have had and our new policy.

Q)   Two friends were so excited.  They had tickets to a new rock band and were going to dance all night long.  The place was packed with young people. At 40, we felt old, but before we could make a dignified exit to the back of the auditorium, a tall, handsome man approached them.

"Perhaps we were being a little hasty in leaving," the one young lady thought.

Then with a big smile, the man extended his hand to one of my friends and said, "Hello. Remember me? You taught me in third grade."

Aging with grace and style is not always easy!!!!

 

R) Remember to clear the tables off after snack break if you use the commons.
