"Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance."

PATIENCE vs. WISDOM
After some thought, I don't believe patience and wisdom should be adversaries or that they should be in an "either - or" situation. It is very important the two work in tandem at times.
There are instances, one might be too patient if they did not possess the wisdom to know when to move things along. On the other hand, the wisest person may make a grave mistake if they don't know when or how to be patient.
Thankfully, it appears the dog has learned both!!
I hope you are patient and plan wisely how you will budget your time and energy over this long weekend. Maybe you will be able to schedule some down time - some time to relax and not be busy.

TEACHERS CONTINUING TO LEARN
Teachers Teaching Teachers
Amber Woodard, 4th grade teacher, is sharing her expertise and experience in using Guided Reading with fellow 3rd - 6th grade ELAR teachers.
This is truly the BEST staff development - we know the strategies are usable and successful with our students!

BHS COMPETITION GYM
The demolition phase began Tuesday in the Leonard A. Gerner Gym to replace the bleachers.
By Tuesday afternoon, all the plastic seats had been removed from the bleachers.
By Wednesday afternoon, the top rows of bleachers (those closest to the wall) had been removed.
By Thursday afternoon, only three rows remained on the home side!
