Atlanta Braves  
Come and watch your Atlanta Braves play one last time at Turner Field this season before they move into their new stadium in 2017.

There will be a representative from Strictly Events here on behalf of the ATLANTA BRAVES. He will be in the building Tuesday, May 10 at the end of the day from 2:00pm – 3:30pm outside the Media Center.

He will be selling Braves ticket packs at a huge discount. The packs include (4) $48 ticket vouchers for only $40 per pack. (Breaks down to $10 per ticket) They sell the vouchers in sets of four so 4,8,12, etc. If you buy multiple tickets, you may use them at different times. You do not have to use all your tickets at one game, but you may if you choose to do so. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE YOUR GAMES NOW. These tickets are good for 71 designated home games this year. You can redeem them at the gate the night of the game or at the box office as far in advance as you choose to secure your seats. Tickets can be used for The Club Pavilion (formally known as the Lexus Level), the Terrace View, Outfield or Upper Box based on availability. Father's Day, Birthdays, Groups... they make great gift ideas! 

Cash, check, credit & debit cards will be accepted.

Career Lesson Make-Up
We have around 30 students that need to make-up career lessons with me due to being absent on career day or enrolling after. Remember, we need 100% completion to get our CCRPI points! I will be calling down students this week to do the make-up lessons. They is not the full lessons, so I will only have them for about 20 minutes. Thank you in advance for being flexible and allowing these students to meet with me for a short time!

What I've been thinking about...
This is a wonderful article about redesigning our classrooms. A recent study that was just published stated that the set up and look of a classroom could negatively or positively impact a child's learning by 25%! As we are closing out the year, let's think about our classrooms and what our kids need in order to have the best learning environment possible!! Do we need to have things that we have always had? What can we change?
