November 27, 2012: To be or not to be... wed.

Back to school, and only 17 school days until Christmas break. Half of our school year will be over in two weeks and tonight is our toughest academic team challenge of league play, Russell. It is nice to have challenges like Russell each year to find out where you stand in the region and know how much work we have to do moving into the Governor’s Cup playoffs. We learned that we will host District 71 Governor’s Cup and there’s nothing like being home in the playoffs. We are so proud of our students and here’s wishing them the best in all they do. It’s appropriate to quote Walt Disney, “Keep moving forward.”

Even though we still need school excuses, let me offer you a couple of Disney excuses.

On this date in 1582, William Shakespeare marries Anne Hathaway. Now, unless she has a wayback machine, this is not the same Anne Hathaway we all know and love (or she looks really good for 450+). To celebrate Will, get to EPCOT and enjoy the World Showcase Players, a travelling troupe of thespians who have been know to discover raw talent in the audience at their performances.

Hi, my name’s Bill and I am a science guy but I’m not that science guy. November 27, 1955 was the cessation of gestation and natal moment for Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Bill Nye has had a host of scientific contributions to Walt Disney World but his constant presence is in EPCOT at Ellen’s Energy Adventure where he helps Ellen discover the importance of energy in our world. This is one of my son’s favorite attractions at Walt Disney World and one of my favorite places to cool off and relax (realllllyyyyy relax).

Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
