THE PRINCIPAL CHRONICLES - JOSH MILLER

The Principal Chronicles continue ... Now into our second week, we survived the Eclipse. It was amazing to me how awesome it was. It was equally amazing how much time and energy we put into that day. We had quite a few solar glasses but even better we had a large number of students who created their own viewing devices. I love love love the creativity.
Other than that, it's been a pretty good week. Students are starting to get settled in and the teachers are starting to understand what type of learners all of our students are. We are really looking forward to starting to dive into learning.

On a personal note, my oldest started middle school last week (and promptly got strep). Not sure if I am excited about middle school or not. I have visions of the movie "Mean Girls" floating around in my head. Of course, her first day of school outfit included her unicorn power shirt, Star Wars backpack, and sloth socks so I am sure I'll have good stories for sure.

On a different note, we have our Back to School Night coming up on Tuesday, August 29th from 6:30 - 8:00. We would love to get as many families in that night as we can. Again this year, I'll be giving my State of the School address and will discuss our current enrollment, our test scores, and lots of other fun and exciting topics. Plus we have ice cream!! Who doesn't want free ice cream?

King Soopers Cards: If you shop at King Soopers and/or get gas at Loaf 'n Jug, the King Soopers card is a great way to support our school! It's a reloadable gift card that works just like cash.
