Our blog this week follows Superbowl Sunday, which saw the Seattle Seahawks pretty much dismantle the Denver Broncos. My apologies to Broncos fans, but I really enjoyed the Superbowl experience this year. I don’t usually watch much football, and certainly not a game as lopsided as this one. But on this occasion, I sat with my oldest daughter, Jennifer, and we laughed through both the commercials and the game. We also texted with others in our family and shared the culmination of what was a very fun, exciting weekend. We had a baby shower for one of our twins, Amy, who is due in April. Jennifer is also pregnant and due in July. I spent time this weekend with daughters Amy, Megan, and Jennifer, as well as my son, Adam. It was so much fun just to be with some of my children. Maybe it was too much fun, as I am only now, sitting at FHS this morning, writing our Weekly Update. IN trying to keep priorities straight, family came first this weekend!
Career Day was such an explosion of positive energy last Friday! Every one of our speakers seemed impressed with our students. They felt students asked good questions, managed through the hallways quickly, and attended to the presentations. Parents are reporting that students went home with excited stories about the presentations they saw. The students we talked to on Friday were a-buzz with how fun they had and how much they learned from their speakers. The experience was the best we’ve done at Cooper for a Career Day. The students were outstanding and the presenters were great. Many thanks to all who worked with their kids to help ready them for the experience. Additionally, many thanks to Robin, Sally, Angie, Mary Ann, Mary Beth, Sandy W., Karen, Lauren, Annette, Nicole, Georgia, and Leona for helping set up and preparing the event. If I forgot someone, I certainly apologize. This was quite a team effort!
We also owe a big debt of gratitude to Judy and her family for all the preparation work completed at their home during the snow days. They put together all the kid cards and lanyards that we couldn’t do while at our separate homes. Judy’s children are very helpful!
Career Day, like Leadership Day, proves to us how well we’re doing. Students gave great speeches, the cup song was terrific, and our leaders provided our guests with everything from maps and directions to room to food and comfort in the LMC. Cooper kids really shine when given these opportunities. The leadership shows are far we are progressing toward our mission: Learning and Leading!
