USB Drive Abuse

Kids, don't try this at home!

James found his lost USB drive in his jeans pocket after it had gone through the wash. So he decided to dry it in the microwave! He said he put it on low, "so it wouldn't arc." Then we all watched to see if it would work in our school computers. IT DID!!! Hardy little things.

N1H1 Flu Shots at School

Our students had the opportunity to get a flu shot at school on Oct 22. We've been relatively lucky with the virus. Certainly there have been students who got sick, but we haven't had the epidemic that some states/schools have had. I heard a school in Adams County closed for a couple of days to try to stop the spread.

It will take about 2 weeks until our students have enough antibodies to protect them. That's Nov 5.

So until then, keep washing your hands!










How often do you wash your hands?

Pet Peeves

I can't tell you how many times a student has come up to me and said, "I was absent yesterday, did we do anything important?" grrrr

I usually say something like "Well of course not, this is just school" or "We couldn't, you weren't here!"

What are other ways/phrases students can use to get caught up after missing school?
