Parents Day A Total Success

After 8 long hours with my students and their parents, I would label it a total success. Not only was I able to talk to some parents who I had wanted to talk to (some of my least productive kids in class) but also got to talk to parents whose kids I adore (which is always the more fun conference).

The real victory in my book came after all formal conferences were over however. After parents day meetings and whatnot, we always have house competitions. This year we had the kids compete in basketball, volleyball, and tennis. And for the first time ALL year, my house won! Archimedes was victorious in the volleyball tournament!

The better part came next: faculty played the winners. That's right, yours truly was out there competing against high schoolers with some fellow coworkers and of course, we came out on top. Now there may have been some favorable calls in favor of the faculty from our headmaster who was serving as a line judge (who was no where near the court and also has an undying desire to win everything), but that is debatable.

All in all, I got to meet many parents and beat my students on the volleyball court. I had a great time!
