Wow! Did we even have a summer break or was that just a long weekend? This summer more than any I can remember seemed to come and go without so much as a warning. Aside from that fact that it was actually shorter than usual, we've also had so much going on around here that it was hard to stop and enjoy the break. With that being said however, the extra hustle and bustle around here has been due to the fact that we are constantly prepping and planning for our 2nd semester adventure. We will be moving out of our familiar surroundings and relocating in three separate locations in order for the middle school to be remodeled into a building fit to provide a true 21st century education.
But lets not jump the gun! We've got an entire semester ahead of us before we get to that point. The trap we cannot fall into is letting the anticipation of 2nd semester keep us from focusing on the task at hand. We must do our best to keep things normal for now, all while keeping it in the back of our minds that we have to be prepared when the time comes to move out.
So, what about this year? It's going to be a great year. We've got two great classes returning and a 6th grade class that has been highly touted by the elementary school. There really is no feeling quite like the first few days of school when you are a student or a teacher. So do your best to make that good first impression and help make this a special year for everyone at ERMS.
The condition of the month for August is Spirit of Adventure. This is very fitting when you consider what type of year we are embarking upon. Sign on and make a comment to this blog. Let everyone know your thoughts on coming back to school.
