St. Baldricks: A Slice of Life

Writing teachers need to write themselves.

I am participating in the Slice of Life 2015 Challenge, 

where I attempt to write stories and narratives about moments in my life.

I apologize if this blog post veers off the informative "literacy lens" I usually write through.

This month I am pretending to be a writer, for my students' benefit (and my own).

Writers write.

What does family look like at a school?

Working together for a common goal.

Putting others before yourself.

Raising over $1400 in 8 days for Childhood Cancer Research.

Our assistant principal, +Bill Davini, challenged our students and staff to raise $750 for St. Baldricks.  He told them that he would shave his head in front of the whole school if they did it.  They far surpassed his goal, and raised money for children in need. 

Thanks, Mr. Davini, for reminding children the value in 

raising money for a good cause, 

teamwork, 

and keeping your word.
