Overall a tremendous improvement over previous years -- strengths: good transition from outside at the Stadium into the gym; lots of energy; lots of cooperation and spirit; good class cheers needs for improvement: need good school cheer (all classes); still dis of freshman (fortunately short and generally drowned out quickly) pauses too long; not enough real program for length; too long needs to be tightened. OK but could use work: school song -- boy that needs some work - need to talk to all the athletes about appropriate and respectful behaviors. Homecoming court dance needs immediate improvement.
Lots of fun and energy. Lots to work on but isn't that always true. If you don't do these big kinds of things, the students will never learn how to deal with them. Unfortunately, the general public behavior at the Dome and Target Center is terrible. There is not a good place for young people to learn sportsmanship or respect of a worthy opponent or just civil behavior but the schools. So I guess we keep at it.
We always debrief our events. If you have ideas or comments, please email me. We want to have fun events for all our students.

I just happened to stumble upon this blog site while viewing a Homecoming Flyer. What a terrific find, I love it!
As a parent of teenage males there are a lot of school happenings that I NEVER learn about.
Thanks for your posts Dr. Smith I suddenly feel informed and more a part of the community.
