No one seems to enjoy packing. I was thinking about it when packing for a short trip tis weekend. I certainly was thinking about it last week as I finally started packing the offices and conference room. It's a big job and not a fun one. We are finding, though, that there is much we can let go; there are things that need to be thrown away.
We hope you're finding things to throw away, as well. We can get rid of a lot!
We will begin checking out staff on the 12th of June. That's still three weeks away. Lots of time, and this Saturday, May 31, the school will be open for you to work in your rooms again. It would be great if you're planning to work, to let Terry know. We are planning have the building open from 8:00 to 4:00.
There is news on the Bond Updates for Cooper. There is a rendering of the proposed front of Cooper in Terry's office. Stop by if you'd like to see it. Students and staff weighed in on the colors when we met with the architect last week.
We found out that not all classrooms will be getting new flooring. The process is complicated. the best way to think of it is that sinking fund money can also be used to replace flooring. Not all of it has to be bond money. As the necessary floors (which are the asbestos tile floors) are replaced, it's possible that the district can wait to see if the sinking fund renewal in August is provided. Then the sinking fund can be used for replacing badly tiled floors. That saves bond money for the other things that sinking fund money doesn't cover. It's not that anyone thinks that floors do not need replacing. It is about being as smart as possible about which funds are used for which fixes. We all need to hang in there and see how it all comes out without worrying that it won't all be okay eventually. Some repairs may not be completed this summer.
Congratulations once again to Judy Bowling, Teacher Of The Year. There were lots of people who made it happen by writing up the nominations (actually three different people!), and adding the accompanying documents for the committee. There is no one more deserving, and we can all be proud to have Judy at Cooper doing all the things she does to help make Cooper such a special place for students, staff, and families. How wonderful that Judy is being acknowledged for all her great work!
Thanks also goes to Bill, Sue G., and Lauren for putting together such a great Variety Show! Such hard work really paid off! We also need to thank Leona and Georgia for working the in the wings last Wednesday night. Their help made sure the kids were ready and on stage at the right times. The show was wonderful!
