I met briefly with Christopher Dailey today. He is the new Principal at Batavia High School. His first week has been interesting to say the least. He started off the week with the National School Boards Association Technology Conference and ends it with the Drama Club Production of OUR TOWN....and the Batavia Invitational Track Tournament...interwoven with a myriad of other things. Tomorrow morning is his first "Coffee with the Principal".... If you want the chance to meet him...stop on in..... I think you will be impressed. I know I am.
The nice thing about Chris Dailey's job is that he honestly works with some great people. Our staff at the High School is quite exemplary. As I walked the halls, I noticed the work that they were doing for individual students and the innovative ways that we teach, not just with technology, but one to one as well. I always have been proud of our students with disabilities... at Batavia they are allowed to shine and be a part of a wonderful school community. They participate in clubs, go on field trips, do plays, partipate in music programs and play sports. You want to see a staff shine? Look at the Batavia High School Group that works with these wonderful students on a daily basis. They are true heros in my eyes. From those that work in food service to the adminstration, there is a special way that they nurture and care for our students.....all of our students.
Tonight is opening night for OUR TOWN...expertly staged and directed by my daughters Caryn Leigh and Malloryann. It starts at 7:30PM at John Kennedy School. They make Dad so proud.....and son Nick has the Batavia Track Invitational this weekend - VanDetta Stadium at 3PM. My daughter Sara Jane is participating in here first "Parent of a Child in a Dance Recital" as my granddaughter hits the boards at the age of four. Since my granddaughter is an already an excellent ice skater .... I am sure she will be a wonderful dancer, with grace and beauty......she is certainly a beauty anyway.
So that is our weekend.....my show (Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean - 7:30PM at GCC Friday and Saturday), thier show (Our Town - 7:30 at JK Friday and Saturday)....the Track Invitational and the Dance Recital..... Busy....Busy...Busy...and on top of that one birthday to celebrate and Mother's Day.....Brunch sounds good... If we all get the chance to all sit down at the same time that is....
Have a good weekend & to all the Mom's...Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!
