Friday, September 2nd - This is your holiday!

Do great minds really think alike? That's what I've heard!

Important Dates, Reminders, and Other Stuff...

• Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Respect for School - It's a Hopewell thing, right? We are all responsible for ensuring that students understand the meaning of this motto. Students are using their agendas, and generally being respectful towards each other.  Let's not forget about the overall school environment, as well. Please be sure to review expectations for behavior during locker times and monitor students during class changes. Ask them to pick up trash left behind, particularly in the hallways, and share your expectations for behavior after they are dismissed from the cafeteria.
• Clubs - It's time for us to get our extra-curricular on! If you haven't already done so, please submit your updated club info to Liz Pyke byt the end of the day on Tuesday.  Also, we are still in need of a sponsor for Tumbling/Gymnastics, Ladies of Hopewell, Anime, and Science Club.  Also, two students approached me with a desire for drama club. Let me know if you're interested.
• Curriculum Night - You should have already seen the tentative schedule for Curriculum Night. Yes, it will be a looooong day. Please feel free to wear jeans on the day following your Curriculum Night.

Thanks for another great week. This Labor Day weekend, be sure to celebrate YOU!

"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country...Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
