EAGLES...BIG "D"

How about that Eagles' defense? Hoping our offense comes around and that Westbrook isn't injured too bad. Watched the game with some friends yesterday and loved winning even more since my friend Tommy is a big Steelers fan! Winning is always more fun when you can rub it in a bit :)

I believe that "W" was for my friend Bryan! GET WELL SOON BUDDY :)

LAST WEEK AT SHEA STADIUM...

Well the Mets are once again giving me a stroke in September! I'm hoping that they'll keep it together this week for their last regular season games at Shea. We've got 7 games left of regular season and are currently one and a half games out of first place. GO METS...LOSE PHILLIES :) I'm sure it'll be a stressed filled October for me!

Horticulture @ WAHS

Mrs. Carman-Harris always amazes me with how much work and dedication she puts into her Horticulture program at our school. She not only teaches great info to students about landscaping, floral design, greenhouse management and the environment, but she also stresses the importance of a strong work ethic. Believe me, she practices what she preaches!

Here's a picture of a few of our Horticulture students at a community function in Newberry on Saturday, Sept. 13. WAY TO REPRESENT 'PORT HORT :)

CLASS MOTTOS

Each of my classes were given an assignment: using squares or rectangles, each student was to record some information, making predictions about their future lives. Then, upon finishing, the class as a whole was to use the squares or rectangles to create a symbol that represented their class and come up with a "class motto". I must say, each time I do this activity the students seem to get more and more creative! GREAT JOB EVERYONE ON THIS PROJECT & THANKS FOR A GREAT START TO THIS SCHOOL YEAR!!!

PERIOD 1: "SNAKE...BECAUSE WE SLITHER OUR WAY TO SUCCESS!"


PERIOD 2: "PEACE...BECAUSE WE PASS PEACE ON TO OTHERS!"


PERIOD 3: "LOLLIPOP...BECAUSE WE'RE POPPIN'!"


PERIOD 4: "LETTER B...BECAUSE WE'RE THE BOSSES OF ALL BOSSES!"


PERIOD 6: "BOMB...BECAUSE WE ARE DA'BOMB!"


PERIOD 7: "EYES...BECAUSE WE ARE FACING OUR FUTURES!"

The rest of weekend sports...

The rest of the weekend in sports was up and down:

WE ARE...PENN STATE: Penn State looked pretty darn good Saturday. Joe Pa has to be happy! TN didn't play this weekend! WVU (West VA) lost to Eastern Carolina...how did that happen?

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!: WOW! Did they look good today or what? I watched the first quarter and then had to get outside to enjoy the beautiful day...but popped back in every now and again to check them out. What I saw made me hopeful for a great season!

METS: UGHHHH....being a Mets fan IS NOT easy..especially in September :-) But faithful we are! The Mets lost the first 2 of 3 games to the Phillies this weekend. As of right now, we're up by 1 in the 3rd inning...but will we hold the lead? WHO KNOWS! If we get swept by the Phillies, we will be tied with them for first place and Mr. Abels won't let me live it down! WA-HOOO...Delgado just slammed a homerun...we're up by 2 now :-) See me in the morning for the outcome!

FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Even though we lost Friday night, nothing beats Friday night football (except maybe baseball in October...more on that later)! I enjoyed seeing many of you at the game, on and off the field. Our new scoreboard looks great doesn't it? The sunset view from our stadium always mesmerizes me! As always, the band had a great pre-game show and the cheerleaders looked good pumping up our fans, who were looking full of 'PORT PRIDE....who says our school spirit isn't alive and well? As for the football team...KEEP TRYING GUYS! You can't let one game get you down...and remember to hold your heads high and play with integrity :-) A few photos from the game:
