    did you know you were tweeting things last night from the board meeting like, “retweet if you think I’m sassy” You may want to make sure no one has hacked your account.

      It was me…A student accused us of being sassy so we did a scientific poll and found that 66 other students also thought our twitter account was sassy as well. Sorry, we are being sassy again. Truth be told, we try to keep our feed lighthearted and fun to read. And as a result, our followers have increased dramatically from the several hundred to several thousand. We appreciate your concern with being hacked…If we start selling weight loss drugs, please let us know!

        As someone who is on two different School Community Councils, I support all humor given by Ben Horsley. Hilarious!

      The Tumaini Welcome and Transition Center, which assists new-comer students with the transition to their home school, is located at Granite Park Junior High. ESL courses and counseling services are offered throughout the district.
      If you click the “K-3 Reading Program” link you will be able to download the PowerPoint file that was presented at board meeting.

    You are very lucky to get Brett Bawden. I teach with him. In 33 years, I have never met a harder working or more beloved teacher. Our school may fall apart without him.
