I was going to try to get out with another “too busy to blog” tweets (like I did last week), but I have, in fact, spent a good chunk of my day editing the premiere of “Jon’s 2nd #NoOfficeDay with a #PrincipalStudentSwap” movie! Yes, I am three weeks behind, but it was now or never. It is still a bit rawer than I would like (and longer), but I still prefer the “now” to the “never”.
I blogged the background to the video, here. It ends, perhaps, the first chapter in our “Community of Kindness” conversation that I have blogged about here, here, and here. My swap partner, Shoshana H., is still working on her version of the day, and you can check out her blog, here, for updates.
It was a wonderful experience to not only get out of my office (you can read the blog and see the movie of my first #NoOfficeDay, here), but to live life for a day like one of our students. I think the students enjoyed it as well. I’m not sure I’ll be able to squeeze in a third this year, but our students know that if they create their own two-minute “Community of Kindness” videos, they are liable to earn themselves a good ol’ swap!
So, without further adieu, I present “Jon’s 2nd #NoOfficeDay with a #PrincipalStudentSwap”:
The next nine days will be among the most amazing, exciting, enjoyable, moving and monumental in our school’s history. Sunday begins edJEWcon 5772.0 and later that week we begin celebrating our 50th Anniversary! I will blog about them both in the weeks to come. And if that wasn’t enough, in our final weeks I still need to blog about:
- Our Annual Parent Survey
- Our Annual Faculty Survey
- Our ITBS Results
- Big Plans for the Future!
It is going to be quite a ride during these final weeks to the school year!
