This time of the year, many of us are preparing for a parent night of some kind at our schools. This actual question was crowd-sourced recently on our list serv, and I chimed in (with what else? Cathy Nelson’s Professional Thoughts!!) But I do think some of the responses were worthy of blogging. So here [...]

Too early to plan? (not for me….) Teen Read Week is always a week where we can find “fun” ways to celebrate reading or teens and their interests. Striking a balance can be challenging, but I do love to plan, even though it’s not until mid October. Execution of plans is always a different [...]

As I sit here pondering a very large order for replacement ink for every printer in my building, and realize how absolutely unrealistically expensive this is, I can’t help but think of things that suck money out a school budget. Here’s my list: Ink cartridges – Why does every teacher think they need a desktop [...]

I know a lot of professionals get paid to create logos and such for just about everything, and that probably includes the Discus logo too. Have you seen the new logo? It’s really cool and pretty. It needed an update, and I like it too. Now I need to find my brochures and pages that [...]

Wow, I’m posting something again in one day. Shame on me. But son #1 is in Chicago for college–his sophomore classes start next week. And high school junior son #2 is out with his teenaged friends for a little while. And hubby is fast asleep on the couch. So I was cruising through my Bloglines–I [...]

(Note to reader–this is not a complaint or anything remotely like that. I just want to sort of journal the school year. In the title the letters “SYP” represent “School Year Project” and each SYP post will be tagged accordingly. I got this idea from Christian Long of Think Lab. He is doing a similar [...]
Posted in Back-to-school, Eye Surgery on Aug 6th, 2007
Some of my fellow colleagues and friends have inquired about my eye surgery progress, so I’m writing about it here. Today marks five days since eye number one (my right eye) was surgically “fixed” with a synthetic lens replacement. The left eye was done four days ago. Today I have accumulated most of my distance [...]

Observation: I had to sit through the standard Payroll/Benefits meeting for new hires today, even though everything remained the same since all my information transferred from Rock Hill (my former place of employment in the South Carolina public education system.) The last part of the meeting was for the new hires to watch a sexual [...]

I know I should be sharing how to begin a successful year. I’ve seen a number of my favorite bloggers writing about the same thing. But I am taking a slightly different approach. I am writing today about beginning my new job. Maybe I should title it fears. But I’m not really afraid of it. [...]
