Malcolm and me

Last night was a good night. More details tomorrow.

Class officer details

Tomorrow, I will give you guys nomination forms for class officers. Here's a crude breakdown of responsibilities:

President: Ultimately, this person's main responsibility will be planning and running morning meetings. He or she will organize and recruit help for various class activities, such as overnights, field trips, and other speicial occasions. He or she will serve as the voice of the senior class.

Vice President: This person assists in planning the morning meetings and will be responsible for maintaining both the senior activity calendar and birthday recognitions. When necessary, this person will visit the morning meetings of other grade levels to make announcements.

Treasurer: The treasurer will collect money whenever necessary (for shirt orders, field trips, etc.) and will track all fundraising for prom. Must be good with math and be able to keep Ms. Rayburn's head on straight.

Secretary: The secretary should be someone who's participated in a blood drive in the past, because it will be his/her responsibility to organize blood drive volunteers and recruit donors. Ms. Rayburn will help with this initially.

ALL class officers will be called on as necessary to assist with activities as they arise. These four people will serve as a panel of advisers to the administration and senior faculty as necessary. Being a class officer looks good on a resume, sure, but it also an opportunity to be sure that your class reaches its goals this year and maintains its stellar reputation.

For Monday

Please bring your copies of Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Metamorphosis with you. I should have announced that in class Friday. One of these days, I'll get the hang of this teaching thing.

First day of English

Here's hoping the Ginormo-Class gets leveled out over the weekend.

It was a great first day, guys! I'm pumped.

Generosity of spirit

Cherubs,
Let me tell you about a seventh grader named Rhodesia Hampton. Today, upon seeing that your styrofoam cups had been knocked out of the fence overnight, she gathered up her classmates and put them back for you. This group of kiddos resisted the urge to spell out their year (2015) and put them back as 2010 to honor you.

Reason number 38,299,103 I love our school.

Sen10rs,
The quiz over The Metamorphosis will still be on the first day of school.

However, I will take up your 15 dialectical journals over Slouching Towards Bethlehem on Monday, August 17.

Hit me up if you have questions.
