Madison INFORMATION
- Madison Shoutouts: A massive shout out to all of you who stepped up to helped out in our classes without subs, this week, or who came to work when you might otherwise have considered staying home. Your support of your colleagues is noticed and appreciated. I overheard Queenie say that there were 19 unfilled sub jobs throughout the district today.
- APISU: Asian Pacific Islander Student Union – Do any of you want to be an advisor? You will have district support. The district staff will run the first meeting on October 28th during 5th period but we could change the period if desired to fit the advisor’s prep period.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND OTHER INFORMATION
- Silent Ball: Check out a blog post on WeAreTeachers, here, and give Silent Ball a try. One twist on the game is to have kids try and get through everyone in the room without repeating anyone. If someone drops the ball, they start over. This way no one is out, no one gets skipped, and they have to support each other to get the task done.
Looking Ahead:
