Long Time Without Updates

Hey Everyone!
It has been such a long time since I have updated this blog.   That just says how busy life has been in the past year.    New legislation, new outlets for energy, new classes, new staff.   All have pulled me away from the blogspot.   I will certainly try to update from now on.   No promises though.   Just keep checking back here once in a while.

Peace and good reading!

Brrrrr!

Folks,
Winter is here in practice (in policy as of December 21). Please remember that our heaters in the classrooms are not as efficient as we would wish. Dress in layers. Wear a hat and scarf. Stay healthy for the upcoming Winter Break.

Turkey Day

Turkey Day is coming up on November 24th (the Wed. before Thanksgiving). This is our big, annual community celebration -- Shabazz's Homecoming! We welcome our alums, our current students' immediate families, and our district community partners. One of the main events of the day is the Talent Show. Audition signups have been slow-going. So, if you wish to perform at Turkey Day, please sign up for an audition spot on Denise's door. We will have several 1st hour auditions and lunch hour auds in the next two weeks. Auditions will close and the program will be finalized on Friday, November 19.

New Quarter Already

Wow, folks! It is already the start of the second quarter. Welcome to all of the new students to Shabazz. Welcome back to all of the returning students. We have an exciting and busy quarter ahead of us with Turkey Day and Winter Break. Let's get off to a great start and make this the best quarter EVER!
