First Week of School!!

Pros of Murray High - Part 2

  • Personalized business cards
  • $500 grants (and no one has ever been turned down) for whatever technology, classroom needs, etc., that you can justify using
  • Spartan Tote Bag for all teachers
  • Assemblies begin at 7:50. If students don't want to go, they don't have to. Teachers are not required to go, either.
  • Wednesday early out.
  • No lunch duty

Only downside so far . . . despite the fact that Murray seems to have plenty of money for teachers to use if they need it, they are also very stringent with supplies. I've had to use my legislative money to buy post-it notes. Oh well. I can't complain too much.

In other news . . . . James has officially become a Ute this week, starting up in the nursing program. He is a little overwhelmed with all the reading and assignments to keep track of, but he'll be fine once he gets the hang of it! He is also looking for families to do physical assessments on to fulfill a variety of class lab projects. Any volunteers?
