Another great week here at Woodlawn this week. We had a fire drill here this morning. Our students and staff did a great job, ensuring that we will be safe in an emergency. There are only a few things in the blog this week.

Lloyd Bachrach
Our 8th graders were inspired today by Mr. Lloyd Bachrach and his assembly, YES YOU CAN! Parents, ask your 8th grader about Lloyd. He has had an incredible journey.
Finally, I want to wish every mom out there a Happy Mother’s Day. You deserve the recognition for more than just a day, but it is a start. There is no one out there who loves you like mom. I may not have been the best baseball player on any team I ever played for, but my uniform was always squeaky clean and I looked like the best player out there. My brother won awards for his artistic skills, yet my mom displayed my crummy ceramic pot next to his amazing sculpture. My mom believed that you shouldn’t stress about money because in her words, “It is only paper”. Mom made an incredible turkey every Thanksgiving and celebrated Christmas like no other. Much like many of the moms I know through Woodlawn, she donated her time, energy and skills to the school, ensuring that I had a positive experience. This Mother’s Day, I hope that every mom gets a ridiculously long hug from their children. I also hope that you get to give mom one of those same hugs. I would if I could.
Finally 2, Tag Update. I crashed a party at one of my buddies house last Friday night around 10p.m. 5 couples were sitting in the living room when I snuck in through their garage entrance and tagged my buddy as they were playing a Pictionary type of game. Not it.
