I’m Out. . .

That’s right, you read it correctly, I’m out of the building for probably the next 7 weeks. What might I be doing for that long of a time you ask? Well, duh, if you’ve seen me lately, you know – – – I’m having a BABY!!

For those of you who saw me today (trying to walk down the hall) you know that I need rest, so the rest of this week I’ll be at home resting my back. Then next Monday, the 22nd, the doctor will induce me (in other words, the doctor will make me go into labor and have the baby). So hopefully by this time next week I will be a new Mom.

While I’m away, there will be a substitute in the library keeping order. I have left him several notes about how we operate at South Hall, so no funny business people! 🙂  His name is Mr. Correll. I’ve told him about not letting anyone “hang out” too long in the library. If your teacher sends you down to find a book, then you need to find a book and get back to class. He has library experience, so if you need help finding a book – ask him! I’m sure he can help just as well as I can. And don’t forget that the Book Fair is coming March 1-5. Mr. Correll will be in charge and it should be awesome!!

I’m going to miss everyone while I’m gone! I probably won’t update this Blog too much while I’m gone, but I will post a picture of Baby Losch once he/she arrives!

Behave South Hall and I’ll see you soon!!!! 🙂

Reading Bowl Competition Success!

This past Saturday, February 6th, the South Hall Reading Bowl Team traveled to Pickens County Middle School to compete in the North Regional Reading Bowl. Even though we didn’t place, we still had lots of fun and enjoyed the day! Here are some pictures:

And if this looks fun to you – please consider joining us next year. Most of my team this year was 8th graders, which means they will be leaving me and heading up to Johnson next year. SO I need new team members! Let me know if you would like to join and I can go ahead and give a few of the books for next year and you can look them over during the summer.

See you in the library! 🙂

National School Counseling Week!

This week (February 1-5) is National School Counseling Week, so when you see Ms. Vincent and Mrs. Carlson this week, tell them “THANK YOU” for the awesome job they do at our school. While your at it, tell Mrs. Gensel thank you too and give her a big hug! Our counselors are a big part of our school and help head many fun projects, like the Golden Ticket campaign going on now.

We love our counselors! Thank you for all you do for us!
