Welcome Back Scotties!

What a week!  Activities during the day and after school were in high gear as we got back in the swing of things with kids.  Teaching and learning protocols and procedures are being introduced, practiced, and reinforced; beginning of year Dibels is happening, as well as other grade level assessments on most days.  Many classrooms even used some of their DBI strategies as part of get to know you activities.  Fun!  Much happening in the fall as you know, but don't forget that next up is HP night at Beauty and the Beast.  McCallum Fine Arts Center, Friday, September 7, 7:00 pm.  Check the HPPTA website for purchase link.  I'll be there and hope to see you as well.  More to come on lots of great happenings, but here are some images from our week and a few words about The Taco Shack Bowl.  It was a good one.

So, what to say about The Taco Shack Bowl?  It rounded out our week in a big way on Thursday night.  We had approximately 350 screaming, excited Scottie-Knight fans at the game so it definitely felt like home.  Half time was surreal, with kids and adults meeting on the end field, then waiting for Principal Garrison to give us last minute instructions on procedures for lining up with cheerleaders and drill team on the field.  Beyond fun to welcome the Knights back onto the field after half-time; even better was the Knight's big win!  Special thanks to Mike, Lou, Chastity and others for making our vertical team Scottie-Knight Strong.  Your future Knights thank you.





PTA President & Principal are just as excited about the game!
