Blue Ribbon

Today it felt like Friday, why? Because we have tomorrow and Friday off (Veteran's Day + 1 furlough day), which makes a 4 day weekend!!!
All teachers had a big smile in their faces.
We also smiled because we were nominated as a National Blue Ribbon School.
Blue Ribbon Schools Program - A federal No Child Left Behind program that celebrates many of America's most successful schools. Its goal is to promote and support the improvement of education in America.
There were 35 schools in California that were nominated -out of over 9400 schools- Our district only has 9 schools and yet, 3 of our schools in the district were nominated. Quite an achievement! (I guess we are better than I thought lol).

That's cool! I hope you win. What do you get if you win? Honor and recognition?

And I'm jealous of your four-day weekend!
