Five For Friday - October 9

5. Where Have All The Good Times Gone - Sorry this has little to do with Page and education. It was incredibly sad to learn on my way home from Page Tuesday that Eddie Van Halen passed away. He was nearly single handedly responsible for getting me to love hard rock as a child.

4. Spirited Students - Blown away by the spirit our students and staff showed this week. Spirit weeks are always fun especially with such a good group that had fun while keeping it classy.

3. Daring Greatly - Mrs. Sikkema and Mrs. Schneider, our Student Council advisors, had classrooms elect two StuCo representatives per class this week. Students that wanted to run gave speeches then each class voted. Really impressed by the caliber of future leaders here at Page.

2. STATE YOUR NAME - I was able to observe multiple 4th grade students from several classes using a cool app “ChatterPix” to record a voice over presentation on a US state that they researched.

1. When Push Comes to ShovEL - It was an honor and a privilege to bring 3 Page students and participate in a groundbreaking ceremony on the new construction taking place at McFall, Lee and here at Page. This was made possible by the outpouring of support for last year’s bond vote. I cannot thank you all enough for your commitment to keeping our schools TK Strong!
