Gator Run Friday Focus - September 12, 2014

I would like to have a Genius Hour conversation on Monday afternoon at 2:15 in the Media Center.  If you have already signed up for the Genius Lounge or plan to do so in the near future, please join us.  We want to provide support and guidance to you as you go forward with this exciting endeavor.  For those of you are in Clubs or who have a conference, I will hold another conversation in the near future.

• Boosterthon continues next week, culminating with the Fun Run on Friday.  If you are new to the school and haven't been part of a Fun Run before, please see your Team Leader to ensure that you are prepared.
• Next Thursday is an Early Release Day.  We will have a Faculty Collaboration at 1:30 in the Media Center about vocabulary and a faculty Edmodo discussion.
• Interim Reports go home next Thursday.
• Please be aware of which of your students do not have media clearance for external sources.  Ms. Felton and I will begin sending out pictures and video from your classrooms and we want to respect privacy choices.  

Quote of the Week - Planting a little seed before next Thursday's Faculty Collaboration.  “A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing.” - Henry Hazlitt
