What a good day!

Some days prove to be fabulous! Today is one of them! Let me count the ways.
  • The architects came to discuss the new arrangement in the Media Center to have a real, dedicated computer lab built this summer. Actually, it will be TWO labs of 25 with a moveable wall in between them. The textbooks, library collection, tables, etc. will all need to be moved June 1. This means the library will be closed all summer. It has been a three year process of pushing for a lab and now we'll have two! Just in time for the Science tests to be administered on line. LCD projectors will be installed in the ceilings, as well. Ah, what fun to be included in the twenty-first century!
  • Three classes (from the world language department) came in to have a lesson on acquisition of art from Mexico and Spain. They were so excited that I used my LCD projector to show the class paintings from artists and then they could go into the small lab and see the paintings for themselves. It's fun to see pleasure on the faces of students.
  • Then, the English teachers came in with students doing Mythology comparison reports. When they saw the tab in ABC-CLIO containing information on Ancient Civilizations, one student said he was glad he didn't have to dig through Google anymore. WE HAVE ARRIVED! He may said it for my benefit, but....oh, well......

I'm so glad you're finally getting a decent lab for your kids and that you won't have to be managing it! Linda
