Cold Weather

I love cold weather. We have been using our BRAND SPANKIN NEW heaters at GAA. Looking back its hard to remember sweating buckets back in August. The smell of the furnace's first burn of the season always makes me think of a cozy couch, a throw blanket, a big fat book and a steaming cuppa joe. My mom used to say that the burnt smell from the furnace was the cobwebs burning out of the vents. I passed that on to my students today. I started thinking about the on-coming winter season, and wondered how many of my students don't have heat at home, or a coat, or get enough to eat. Would I know? Would they tell me? I hope so. Think about that today, teachers, support staff, administrators. Are our "kids" getting everything they need?
