Our board meeting is tonight and we will welcome a new board member. The Induction System is critical here.

Schools are designing engaging instruction for our students verses planning lessons for the masses; it makes a difference.

[Annie Wimbish @anniewimbish]

Using the six critical systems to strengthen our efforts on becoming a learning organization is changing the way we do business.

Still in Virginia and it;s extremely cold -- teens. Though refreshing, I look forward to warmer temperatures in Hattiesburg.

It's a blessing to have more than one love. It's a sign of growth, maturity, or just plain crazy; either way, it's fun.

[Annie Wimbish @anniewimbish]

I love it here in Halifax but realize that I love Hattiesburg equally. I am a little anxious to get back "home" to Hattiesburg.

Snow still lingers in Virginia with more expected New Years' eve. It's cold and beautiful. Really feels like Christmas.

Having three schools rated Successful is the beginning as our goal is to increase that for 2009-2010. Yes we can!!!

Increased understanding of the accountability model is evident as we reviewed our status of Academic Watch in HPSD.

Excellent board meeting last night as the board members asked probing questions in their quest for understanding. Wow!

Thanksgiving has been a blast with the grandbabies in Atlanta. We are going for Christmas photographs in a few minutes.

[Annie Wimbish @anniewimbish]

The experience in Virginia for the superintendent interview was stressful but a great educational experience.

[Annie Wimbish @anniewimbish]

Having a wonderful time in Atlanta with the grandbabies, such a welcome experience. I love these munchkins.
