Interesting News

I don't have much bad to say about my principal.  Here's an email he sent to the staff today (Wednesday), which he gave me permission to post here but not until "it" is all over on Friday.  Note the professional tone, the lack of nagging, and the clear expectations:

Colleagues,

Some of you may be hearing that UCLA mens basketball team will be practicing on our site Thursday and Friday in preparation for their NCAA tournament games.  This is true, as I was visited by their CHP escort today to make sure they have smooth practices here this week.  With that being said,  I want to be clear that no student should be leaving your class for the purpose of trying to see the team or view practice.  Their practice is a private closed practice and no students or staff will be permitted to view it.  Thank you in advance for your help keeping the students where they belong on Thursday and Friday.

Pretty cool. Almost makes me wish I cared a whit about basketball :-)
