This Week at Cold Spring SchoolFriday, November 7, 2008“Director” Charley TiernanOn Wednesday, November 5, Charley Tiernan was Cold Spring’s Director for the Day. She did a lot of different things like announced birthdays at school meeting, wrote emails to the teachers, and read two stories to the Preschool class. Charley’s favorite thing was pulling the fire alarm for the fire drill. She also had a meeting with K/1 students Simon Asnes and Mikhaela Friedland about what they like about school and what they might change. Charley learned a lot from her day as the director. She said, “Jeff’s day is very busy!” ~ Written by Charley Grandparent’s and Special Friend’s Day ReminderGrandparent’s and Special Friend’s Day is on Monday and Tuesday, November 24 and 25.
