• I was wrong

  So the other day I asked all of you to vote and help save a program in our school district.  I thought that we could only vote through August.  We can vote till the end of September!!!  It is called Outdoor Education.  It is really a great program and is one our kids really benefit from and totally enjoy!   Sixth grade students go on this trip and it counts for a big part of their science grade.  High school students also benefit because they can apply to be “counselors” on this trip to learn about being a leader and being responsible for more than just themselves.  The high schools apply to go and have stiff competition to get to actually do this.  There are about a 2000 or more kids participate in this each year.

  If you love kids, please vote.  If you love outdoors, please vote.   If you love the idea of a cranky math teacher sequestered with 75 twelve year olds at a time, please vote.  HAHA Whatever your reason, please do this to help the kids here.  It doesn’t cost you a thing!!!

  Two ways to vote.  Texting or online.  If you text, you will get a confirmation text right back to show that your vote counted.  If you vote online there is a counter in the center of the bottom of the screen.  It will roll back one number when your vote has been counted.

  We can vote every day of September.  I really hope you can help by voting for this.  My child will be one of those sixth graders that benefits!    Thanks so much!!!
