Behind the Chalkboard, March 14

There is so much joy in watching children learning as they grow.

Wrap yourself up in a favorite sweater or blanket and let’s dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Today, Boulder City High School, Garrett Junior High School, and Martha P. King Elementary School will be visited by the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB).

December is a busy month of activities in schools, filled with wonderful winter concerts, the challenge of final exams and assessments, and the energy that just seems to come with the season.

If you live in Boulder City, you know the community is very busy during the holidays, especially winter holidays.

Did you know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises people with diabetes to get a flu vaccination to prevent flu and serious flu complications and recommends people with diabetes who have flu infection or suspect flu infection be promptly treated with antiviral treatment.

Sometimes as adults we can spend too much time focusing on “wins” and “losses.” This is true in education as well.

As we wrap up the fall season at Garrett Junior High, there’s so much to celebrate.

Wasn’t I embarrassed when I couldn’t figure out why my friend’s dishwasher wouldn’t start. I troubleshot as best as I could, given my limited time visiting her. It was getting power, the door was closed properly, yet when I pressed “start,” it just wouldn’t. I advised her to call a local appliance repair company. $85 later she was informed that it somehow went into its “locked function.” Simply holding down the Heat/Dry button for three seconds unlocks it. That’s all it needed. Boy did I feel dumb. I mean, I’m the Toolbelt Diva, after all.
