CHS and the Arts

 


One thing I always say about Collingswood High School is that it is a AAA School!  Academics, Athletics, and the Arts and, as one of the presenters stated in tonight's Awards Ceremony, being a small(ish) school, students can elect to "do it all."  I am very happy, on the 132nd of 2022, that both of my daughters elected to do all three As at CHS!  On 5/12/2022, we celebrate the two for 2022 of CHS and the Arts.  There were some rumbles, during Budget Time, that the Admin and BOE were considering reducing their commitment to the Arts but, in the end, all of the wonderful programs were continued and, after hearing about the student successes this evening, I cannot see how anyone would not throw their full support behind them.  I know, even with no kids in the School, I will do all that I can to ensure these programs survive and thrive!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
