Greetings GreenMount Community,
We are very
excited this week because of the upcoming theme event. We have just four days left to prepare, and I
think you will be impressed with what the students have learned. Today, at our Monday Meeting, we discussed
this and it pleased me that the students, in response to my question of what
the event would be, answered in unison, “Excellent!” I know it will be.
Remember that the event is Thursday
night, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with a Chinese dinner beginning at
5:00. This dinner will be very special
because it is being prepared by Mark and Lilis Hauptman, who prepare authentic Chinese food a lot. We are very fortunate to have this couple
commit to such a huge task. We may feed
as many as 250 people! So bring your
drinks (no alcohol) and your plates and utensils and be prepared to be well fed
and entertained.
Most of the theme event will take
place in the gym, but parts will be occurring in classrooms. We ask that you try to spend a little time at
each site reviewing the students’ work, trying not to congregate in any one
place. You will receive an agenda on
Thursday night, and we will further explain your movement around the building
at that time.
Speaking of
timelines, do you know that there are only 37 days until the first day of
spring? What happened to winter? I shouldn’t ask that question. However, it looks like we may escape the kind
of winter we had last year. But I’m not
a weather man so don’t hold me to that.
Another important date is fast
approaching. Amazingly enough, we only have 74 school days left! There is so much to do in so little time, as
is always the case. It seems to me that this happens every year. Suddenly, we are staring at the end, only
recently remembering the beginning. To
some, the days go faster. Perhaps it is
those who are having fun. For me, that
is definitely the case. Each day here is
an adventure and a reward. If I haven’t
thanked you lately, thanks for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful
community.
