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

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.
