Reflections on the first week...................

After a rough start the first two days, MEH was up and fully running. The good news is that the rough start was only in our main office and the transportation office. If you know what I am talking about, please know that we have taken care of this situation and apologize for any confusion and/or anxiety this caused. On to better things - let's talk about classrooms. I have seen some amazing things coming from our classrooms already. It is great to walk in and see students working in groups, teachers using a variety of language and accents to make lessons fun, and of course, there is already music coming from choir, band, and theatre. I even got to sample some chocolate chip cookies prepared by Ms. Moriarty's students yesterday. One student even had a tune that he sang for me - simply amazing. It is wonderful to have all of our students back in the building and making things exciting. I was having a conversation with our human resources director yesterday and she noted how much fun I was having - well of course. Perhaps one of the most beautiful things about working in a middle school is just that! Thank you everyone for a great start to the school year.
