Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Principal For A Day

.

At our school auction a few weeks ago, Baili, one of my sophomore students, purchased the "principal for a day" item.

She went ALL OUT.

Here she is, Ms. Baili.

She bought glasses to lend authority to her title.
She dressed up - - -

In a suit!

She granted some privileges to all the students,
Like off dress code day
And eating lunch outside.

She even came to my room
And gave me my annual "evaluation."
Here it is:

*Losing her voice
*Love her necklace
(Editor's note - made and given to me by Ms. Baili herself)
*Going over a test with her students - NOT fun
*No one is sleeping
(Editor's note - this one cracked me UP!)
*She keeps swaying.
(I asked about this one - - - she said I was walking around.
Well DUH - - - how did she THINK I kept all those
Students awake????)
