Ok, so Harry Potter was not a big hit. I think many had fun but a significant smaller group than yesterday. Many of the costumes were cute and as I describe yesterday, so start in the morning and then increased participation as the day progress but still very limited participation. Have to rethink that one. The popular figure was Hermoine as you might guess. High school males just aren't into some of these things.
Wednesday is "favorite" colors. Now that term was used so that the administration would not think they were really talking about "class" colors. Seniors want to wear red for their picture and I guess that makes sense (not sure why not purple). I would suggest if your child is non-senior grade student go for green or maybe plaid. There really is no need to attempt to label students by some color combination. That tradition dates back to one we are trying to eliminate. But as you can see, somewhat unsuccessfully.
Periods will be shortened on Thursday to allow time for the pepfest at the stadium at the close of business on Thursday. Should be fun event. So far so good. Got a bit silly today but we are trying to stay within reasonable boundaries. Yes, we continue to have classes and try to teach math and science and the other subject.

It will be interesting to see how favorite color day goes, as my freshman was pretty clear she was to wear orange or else there would be consequences. Oh, high schoolers! Thanks for finding ways to keep them engaged, and for tweaking things when they don't quite work for this age group.
