Dear Walgrove Families and Staff,
This marks the last Weekly Message (or Sunday Message) of the school year and of my tenure.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last 7 years of ups, downs, highs, lows, and all-arounds as we have worked together toward the shared purpose of, as Zeena would say, "watching children."
Watching them smile and cry and playfight and push and kick and giggle and sing and think (thank you, teachers!) and write in cursive (thank you, Mr. Merrick!) and run up the slide of life.
Toward the end of saying "so long," here is Woody Guthrie saying it far better than I ever could:
Here, too, is some of what is coming up this week at Walgrove:
MONDAY
Instruction (or some facsimile thereof) from 8:05am-1:50pm
Culmination 9-10am or thereabouts
Dismissal 1:50pm
TUESDAY
Instruction (or some facsimile thereof) from 8:05am-1:32pm
Complete and total mayhem in several ways because not only is this the last day of school, but there will be a film crew on site taking over the Auditorium, the Cafeteria, and places near and far (most of the far bits will start after school).
TEAM PRIME TIME WILL USE THE QUAD TABLES IN LIEU OF THE CAFETERIA. THEIR DISMISSAL GATE WILL BE THE WALGROVE GATE NEAR THE PARENT CENTER.
WEDNESDAY
Optional Work Day for some. Hangin' in there like a cat for others. You know who you are.
The film crew will be everywhere. Thankfully, they will also have Craft Services? One can hope!
Let's have a great week -- AND SUMMER, Walgrove!
