The Olympic Gold Medalist will be in Suffolk for the Peanut Fest Parade this weekend.  You all should go and check it out.  This is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity!

  

Dont forget about spirit week next week, as well as homecoming!  I expect to see all of you on your best behavior as well as representing your school.  Keep it appropriate and make sure you get your work done.  See you friday evening at the football game!
 

Welcome to my blog. 

This will be an area where I will post quick updates and random rambling, as well as interesting facts, links, and the word of the day.  Of course, this wont be everyday, but I do hope you check it often for a bit of entertainment and laughs. 

Today I'd like to talk about sagging pants.  There is an article online (CURRENT EVENT KIDS!) with the Virginian-Pilot and it is rather interesting.

The article states that the Commonwealth of Virginia and other surrounding states are trying to put into effect a ban of sagging pants.  The article also states that there will be severe punishments for those that do not abide by the ban.  You could recieve a ticket, a fine or a felony charge.  This is big news considering every day i have to tell at least one student to pull up his or her pants.

Here is another link that is directly related to YOU, the student!:

What are your thoughts on the situation?  How do you feel about being told how you can dress or not dress?  Should this be an issue for the law, or parents?  You tell me.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think. 

Also, word of the day is lackadaisical
Definition is:  Lacking spirit or liveliness, showing lack of interest, languid, listless.

Try using this word in a sentence!
