How
May I Help You?
Election 2004
Have
you counted the days until the elections? Some
people count the days just so they know how much longer
they have to see the political ads on television!
Presidential elections are only once every 4 years, and
they are a great way to enhance any content area.
If you would like resources, lesson plan ideas, or a
modeled lesson, just email me at BBARR@Fayette.k12.ky.us
or call me at 494-3607.

Heads
Up!
Here is a heads up on some election activities now being
developed for Fayette County Schools! Our district
Local Area Network (LAN) & Wide Area Network (WAN)
Manager, Sam Conder, is developing a web based simulated
voting program to use throughout all our schools.
Sam has been collaborating with School Technology
Coordinators (STCs), Technology Resource Teachers
(TRTs), and Student Technology Leadership Program
Coordinators (STLP) in order to create a
kid-friendly and teacher-friendly simulated voting
experience. While the project is still in the
development phase, Sam promises there will be no hanging
chads! Thank you, Sam!!!!
Watch
for more information!
Thank
You for Supporting our Troops!
In my last weekly
newsletter, I mentioned that Fayette County Schools
Administrator's Association (FCSAA) is collecting items
to send to our troops: Many classrooms and
individuals have given their support. I will come
by all four schools on the afternoon
of Tuesday, September 14th to
pick up items to take to the administrators' meeting the
next day. The needed items include:
-
Chapstick
-
Sunscreen
-
Toilet
paper (apparently the quality is lacking)
-
Batteries
(all sizes)
-
Note
cards and stationary
-
Pens
-
Gum
and Candy
-
Wet
Wipes (they actually refer to these as dry showers)
-
Magazines
and books (any kind; used are just as good as new.
If folks bring magazines from home make sure that
they black our their names and addresses)
-
Powdered
Drinks (Kool-Aid, Gatorade... they get water and it
is convenient for them to carry around dry mix and
add it to their bottles of water)
Thank
you so much for your help!
