Welcome back Fowler Falcons! I am extremely excited to start the new school year. This will be my 8th year of basking in the sunshine on Magnolia Street. I am privileged to work with the finest students in all of the land! This was a busy summer for me as I participated in the NEH Institute on Abolitionism and the Underground Railroad at Colgate University for 4 weeks. The classes were extremely intense and demanding, but I acquired an unbelievable amount of knowledge about our area and the legacy of courage associated with freedom seekers. I have much to share with fellow English teachers and also U.S. History teachers.
Additionally, I am currently participating in 30 hours of professional development for the ARRA Grant, which I incorporated into many of my classes last year. I am excited by the usefulness of the training and know that I will continue to deliver incredible lessons based on the resources provided by the SCSD.
On a personal note, my wife is pregnant with our first child! I am beyond enthralled and incredibly nervous, but she is a strong woman and is feeling great. I can't wait to share him/her with all of you. Enjoy your last few weeks of vacation and if I don't see you at The Fair, I will see you in 324!
