The Class of ’62 50 year reunion went very well last
weekend, with the culmination of events on at Saturday’s dinner. At the dinner I was told that the class had raised
over $113,000 in donations to the Assumption Foundation. What an unbelievably generous gift! With this gift they become our first Golden
Legacy class. Their picture will be placed in the nostalgia cabinets along with
the check they presented that night. It was an enjoyable weekend and I’m very
glad I had the chance to meet so many members of the class of 1962.
The 1:1 project continues to progress well. I have had many positive conversations with our students - they love the increased productivity and the way their teachers are integrating these learning tools into daily classroom activities. It is great to walk by study hall and see students with not only their books open, but also their laptops. There have been some learning steps for everyone, with the need to fix some student logins, reallocate some wireless bandwidth and handle some hardware issues, but minor hiccups were certainly expected.
This week was also filled up with more work on state
reporting and preparation of our Scott County Regional Authority grant. While making sure all of our student state
IDs are correct and double checking student birthdays is a little boring, it is
essential. Luckily for us we are ahead
on our preparation of the data, which is due October 15th. Our SCRA grant requests funding for
improvements we are working on in the band and choir area. For those of you that are interested in the
SCRA grant, the goals for the project include:
1.
Install sound paneling in both band and choir
rooms to eliminate the “echo chamber” effect.
2. Install a
sound system in the band room which allows for the recording and playback of
performances.
