  • Keep learning all summer long

    Summer is here. I hope our students are enjoying their summer breaks and are using every opportunity to continue learning. Learning is not just something that takes place in our buildings 173 days of the year. It should take place every day of our lives. I won’t share my age with you. However, I will tell you I still learn something new every day.

  • The Blurb

    Television
    The Doctor of "Doctor Who" is an alien who travels through time and space in a little blue box (it’s bigger on the inside). He fights aliens and befriends others, as he shows his human companions more of the world than they can even imagine. The show ran from 1963-1989, but it was revived in 2005 and it will begin its seventh season later in 2012. Anyone who is a fan of the sci fi genre should definitely check it out, as well as anyone who is a fan of quick-witted British humor.
