Some books arrive

Today I was happy to see a big box of books in the school office. I dove right in! Ah! Bliss!
In the box were copies of all the mentor/ touchstone texts I ordered awhile back. They will now have to be cross-referenced with the invoices and stamped with the school board's "Property Of..." mark. I'm excited and happy.

Two days ago I spent an hour hammering out some dates, budget concerns and timelines. Catherine M, my board level supervisory officer, calls this is a critical path. It was good to break this huge project down into bite size chunks and to realize that it was "do-able".

Francine, Cheryl and I agreed to inform the staff members that will be involved in our group Exemplars project this coming week. So I need to work on a short presentation for my staff and the staff of Notre Dame, outlining the project, goals, objectives, and timelines for the group project. Too bad that report cards are due tomorrow or I might be tempted to get started on that right now.

Our re-re-write is Accepted!

Yes, folks it's true. Francine, Cheryl and I have just received approval for our new and improved budget. The "budget enhancements" will make our job much easier but also ensure that our project is a success. We are thrilled.

One of us is now a PRINCIPAL!

Well, it's been an exciting week for Francine. She has just been given her first principalship! Congratualations, Francine. Cheryl and I are so proud of you. Now we have 2 "ins" with the principals- you and Cheryl's hubby!
