Thank You Mr. Ritchie


After several weeks of communication, we finally got our classroom air conditioning unit to work better.  It's been a humid and warmer than ideal first few weeks, but the students toughed it out and endured.  We now are more comfortable during 6th and 7th period.  Thank you to Mr. Ritchie for helping us work with the district office.  It took many trips, a visit from the Assistant Superintendent and a visit from the Superintendent.  (From 9/25/2019)

My Special Mouse


This mouse has been with me since my first year of teaching public high school in 2004.  It's been a reliable companion for the past 15 years.  My new laptop has a limited number of USB ports, I am switching to a Bluetooth mouse.  This special mouse will stay with me in the classroom and finally getting a break.
