I also love my hallways teacher mates– Forstner, Nostine, Hall, Barnes, Dahl– they make coming to work positive! What I have noticed/ observed so far: (Be specific.) 1. I have notice we have BEAUTIFUL new bathrooms near the front office. I am finally proud to have people visit our school. The tile work is incredible! Thank you! 2. I have noticed that on the whole teachers have more students this year. It that because we lost 8 teachers last year and Reddington opened? 3. I see that we are trying to do something new with Advisory. I think it would be more beneficial to have our own students in our Advisory, but I don’t know how you would schedule that. It will be interesting to hear student/teacher feedback. I do like that we are giving it more structure. Self-Introduction: (Choose unique traits.) 1. This is my 19 th year as a Warrior.
