This site is where students, parents and fellow teachers will be able to contact me via email, see what we are working on in class, and download any work missed for the week. I will update this site weekly and will respond to emails as soon as possible.
I will also include some first-class websites relevant to the material we are covering in class. In addition, I will post some photos of the students in lab (with permission) to show what we are doing in science lab.
Have fun, look around, click on some links and see you in class. Please feel free to suggest any changes or improvements that would make this a better resource for all. Thanks.

Quote of the week:
“Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and 32 year old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created equal. ‘Give me a place to stand,’ said Archimedes, ‘and I will move the world.’ These men moved the world, and so can we all.”
— Robert F. Kennedy

Thanks to all the parents and staff who supported our science olympiad team this year. Special thanks to Mr. Kushnir, our technology teacher, without whom we could not have competed this year. Special thanks also to Mrs. Hadley for cheering on our students at the event, our Principal, Mr. Ianzito for the doughnuts, Mr. Roth, our student teacher for help throughout the process and the many parents who showed up and cheered on their team. Despite our school's small size and limted resources, I am proud to announce that our team medaled in three events....congratulations to all of our student olympiads for a job well done. Our young students represented our school honorably; I am proud of each and every one of them.
