The following quote from one of our 1st graders almost made me fall out of chair during a SafeTOUCH lesson this week;
“You can trust a mom with kids, because moms are superheros.” – AK
So true!

BrainPOP
I believe BrainPOP is ready to go for you. You and your students can access it through Clever. I will look to build in some time for us to explore more, but if you are ready to start using it on your own, I wanted to get it set up ASAP.
Building Stuff
Hmmmm – I will keep it brief, so if you want more details please see me.
- The movable wall on the stage still needs some more attention, as it is not sealing properly. If you ever need to open/close this wall, please let me know.
- KNCC (Alec) did the water test on the wall outside room 17 and he was able to reproduce the leak. This is good news….sort of. The next step will be for the team to determine the solution (aka, another big hole in the ground). More on that later.
- District plumbers continue to work on a drainage issue between the two buildings (new courtyard). I think they are a few days away from finishing.
- The security system should now be operating in two separate areas; Gym and Main buildings.
100-Year Celebration
We had a great meeting this morning and I believe I can start wrapping my head around an incredible event in the fall. We tried to capture everything into these Notes, however below are some key pieces of information for your attention and processing. Let me be clear that this is all in the “idea-phase” and nothing is set in stone; if something makes you anxious, please bring it to my attention. Or if you think there is something else I need to be adding to the mix, please let me know.
Potential Dates:
- September 20-21 or September 27-28
Format:
- Friday – (afternoon and/or afterschool) would be focussed on sharing Highland Storyline- student and/or parent led tours (this would be an opportunity for visitors to see our school and Storyline (anticipating this should be enough time for frieze work to be done or close to done).
- Saturday – reunion for all Kenwood community (see notes for activities ideas for the day)
Upcoming Field Trips
