After a week and a half of school, I have now met all of the classes Kindergarten through fifth grade.
It is amazing how everyone has grown up over the summer, both mentally and physically! It was a great rest and rejuvenation time for everyone, especially me!
By now you are aware of our new program, The Leader in Me. This program will enable our students to reach for their potential in a variety of ways. We have a large group of 6th, 7th and 8th graders that have volunteered to help out in the library once a week during their lunch recess. This is a big help in the Media Center, as well as a learning opportunity for the students themselves! We salute these young ladies and young men.
Please ask your students what day is Library day! Knowing when is a great way to help your students return their books on time. They all like to get something new, especially with the new books that we have in the Media Center! Come by and visit any time...I am at SPX on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in the Media Center, but you can always reach me at lratkey@spxparish.org.
Thanks to all of you that have volunteered to help in the Media Center! Wendy Britton, our volunteer coordinator extrodinaire, is currently putting the schedule together and we will implement it as soon as possible. Please let either Wendy or myself know if there are any questions or problems....
Thanks again for allowing me to work with your students, it is a pleasure and a privilege to be here at SPX!
