Sorry this is so late! It seems as if Summer Fever has hit the Hill house and it is hard to stick to a schedule. I hope you enjoyed your weekend and that you're excited about what we'll see this Tuesday and Wednesday! I am excited to see our proficiency and growth rise. I know you are too.

I hope everyone is enjoying their LONG weekend. It makes since that we have this most needed break right before testing season is upon us. I know that this time of year can make you forget about the ultimate goal we have for our students so I hope this video from Edutopia helps refocus you. Although it's about technology, think about how this way of thinking transforms education as we currently know it.
Enjoy this beautiful Monday and I'll see you tomorrow bright and early at 7:45 AM.

5/25: No School!
5/26: Committee Meetings @ 3:30 PLEASE EMAIL ME BY 5/22 IF YOUR COMMITTEE IS MEETING
This morning I woke with plans laid out for the day and then I got a phone call. My mom called to share that my grandmother had driven through an intersection and into a trailer's front porch. She was rushed to Wake Med and it looks like she only has a broken or fractured leg.
Why does it take a phone call like the one I received this morning to put things in perspective? I have always lived my life as a person who doesn't let opportunities slide past them. If there's a party...I am there. But why do events like today jolt me into thinking that life is just too precious and too short?
So, let's not waste another minute in front of this blog. Go hug someone you love. Go call someone and tell them how much you love them. How about you just stare into the sky and be in wonder of God's wonderful works? Call your mom or mom figure on Mother's Day and tell them why you love them so much.
Enjoy each moment....we're only given a set amount of moments.
See you tomorrow, Angela
