Excitement Builds

I'm feeling that sort of nervous excitement an athlete feels before a game, a student feels before a big test for which they are prepared, or what some of you might feel at 11:59 p.m. on Thanksgiving - just before the Black Friday frenzy begins. No, it's not for any of these reasons, however. Instead, it's because so many people will be coming through the school in the next week.

On Wednesday we are hosting Grandparents' Day at Harriet Bishop. I'm excited for the activities our teachers and students have planned when our grandparents and special friends come to the building. Cross-generational celebrations and learning opportunities bring past, present, and future together. It is fun to hear conversations that start, "When I went to school..." or "Did you do something like this when you went to school?" The school will be buzzing with excitement as we expect well over 800 people to visit us on Wednesday!

Next Monday is the first of two parent informational nights for families looking to join our school community next year. Word has definitely spread about the terrific and innovative things we are doing with our students at Harriet Bishop. Each year parents attend these nights filled with questions. Connecting with each of you is a passion of mine, so please don't hesitate to ask questions that night or anytime (952-707-3900)!
