Welcome back from Spring Break!

I think everyone has now officially returned from Spring Break and we are now in the final stretch of the 2009-2010 school year. I hope everyone enjoyed their time off and was able to relax, regroup, and revitalize!

The end of the first semester...

This week marks the end of the first semester for the 2009-2010 school year. Where does the time go? Share with others what new courses, units, lessons you are excited about for the upcoming semester...

Earthquake in Haiti

Americans are stepping up to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. How is your school discussing this event with students? Are there any plans for fundraising, food drives, etc. in your school community?

Congratulations Michaela Zimmerman - Concord Academy Boyne

Last month, a Concord Boyne student won the Kiwanis essay contest for her essay on the Hands and Feet Camp, a church-based community service project youth camp in Mancelona.

Congratulations Michaela!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful holiday break....

Now it's back to work time!

I'll be working on W-2s next week. You should receive yours no later than Friday, January 15th. My plan is to mail all W-2s to the schools for your business manager to distribute. Please double check that your social security number is correct. Contact me immediately if you have any questions/concerns.

Happy New Year everyone!
