Conclave and a Guest Speaker!

During Conclave today the students didn't complain about school as much as they usually do. It appears they are now suffering the consequences of their behavior as at least 3 of them had their phones taken away by their parent/guardians.

The highlight for most of the kids was the recent field trip to the Haunted Corn Maze. They each had to tell their own story about what happened in the corn maze, who scared them, who they scared, who they ran into, etc. Vince and Grant (brothers) both had the same "low" which was Grant getting pushed down accidentally and Phu Duc hitting him in the face with his knee. Poor Grant!

Our guest speaker for the day was my former student, Sam Means. Sam is now 22 and a student at TCC. He has a new light that shines in his eyes as he finds success in math which used to be the bane of his existence. Sam shared some tips with the kids, like take notes in math and study them the same day you take them. Thanks Sam!
