10/10/11 - Fundraiser!!

Just received some stats on participation in the school's fundraiser. My class is #1 in participation! Keep up the good work!

If you cannot sell or buy, I PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND how it is to be pinching the pennies. I have two in college now! But give it the ol' college try for Lemme University! The materials are due Friday.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Balke

10/10/11 - Iowa Assessments

This week, the newly (and boringly) named Iowa Assessments will be administered Monday-Friday, from approximately 9:25-11:00. We want your student to do as well as they can. There is no high pressure, like my job is on the line or anything like that. If your student is ill, do not tough it out and have them come; we have the whole next week for makeups. I find it interesting that we tell you to have students eat a good breakfast and get enough sleep during this week. Students should do this ALL THE TIME!! Keep a positive attitude and we will all be okay!
