Proud to be in the final five!
We made it to the final 5 but Wheeler High School won the Spirit of Endeavor award last night. Those students were involved in DeanKamen’s FIRST Robot competition. It was exciting watching the enthusiasm of the students involved in those competitions. We were proud to be in the final 5! Hey, maybe down the road we can have a student blogging marathon where we meet and gather students from all over the world. I envision them blogging about issues of the world, possible solutions, future endeavors, educational innovations, and ways they can make a difference in the world. Let’s dare to dream……
Joyce Hooper (Principal), Carolyn Poole (Assistant Principal) and Marcia Mateling (the 5th grade teacher of many of the kids I work with and the Rockdale County teacher of the year for this year) were thrilled to be at the banquet last night and took home a very beautifully engraved finalist plaque. I will get a picture of that tomorrow! Jim Flowers was there with us. See his post today. Thank you, Jim! It touches my heart to see J.H. House acknowledged in this way. They are a terrific group of educators who do what it takes to make a difference in the lives of children. The students are at the center of every decision made at J. H. House. “Whatever it takes’, is the motto at JHH. They are determined that no child will fall through the cracks.
