Basketball Tournament

Well the boys pulled out a nail-bitter (20 traveling violations in the 4th quarter alone) to win the 3rd place game, and after a frustrating first round loss, the girls dominated their way to the consolation championship. Way to go Patriots.

Officer Dieke is bringing the "drunk goggles" to school today to demonstrate to the students how impaired people become who are under the influence of alcohol. I'll have some pictures and maybe even a video up later today on the website for your enjoyment.

Gym Floor

Wow, that was awesome after the games on Saturday when everyone stayed off of the gym floor! It was so nice to be free from the typical chaos that ensues after our home games. There were even some students who helped with the clean-up! Thank you students and parents so much for your cooperation with the latest board of ed policy.

I almost forgot to mention, we got a new class pet...Clarice the Coyote. He was a Christmas gift and is now a permanent fixture in our classroom.

Sorry, it has a while since my last posting. Christmas was great. The students did an excellent job with the service they presented on the 20th. The gym was packed to hear the message of the Gospel...how awesome.

The "B" teams came away with some hardware from the WASSAC tournament over the weekend. Girls = 2nd place and Boys= 4th place.

Mrs. Woldt has been filling in marvelously for Mrs. Loehr (she is recovering quite nicely from her surgery and we look forward to her return) in the 3-4th grade room.

The students are excited at the addition of 5 more computers (with flat panel monitors) to our classroom. The goal is to eventually turn our classroom into a computer lab which the whole school can use. Several more computers are expected by the end of the month due to a donation from a generous individual.

Wow...it's been a few days since my last post which tells you things have been busy around here. I was minutes from having a two hour delay this morning, but since Campbellsport didn't I left it alone. It all seemed to work out. I drove the roads this morning without trouble on the major roads.

We have been busy decorating the room for Christmas. The students spent hours making the traditional "paper chain" and hanging lights. Zeb took on bulletin board creation. The picture to the right is what he came up with after I told him to change it from "Not Santa" to something more "religious". He is in the process of changing it to "Joy to the World"...his second choice.

So the big secret that everyone who reads this blog (all 2 of you) is ... Katherine(my daughter) is going to be a big sister (July 19). There you have it, now you can all rest peacefully.

I have to go cut some more paper for our monster paper chain which is becoming a holiday tradition around these parts.
