BOCA BETH: One Song at a Time

I will tell you now………….there is some serious drinking going on around the city of Tampa, Florida tonight as the reality of ‘School’s out for summer’ sets in.  And let me tell you folks in other states why there is an abnormal intake of libations without the Memorial Day Weekend actually even here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  In this county of ours we are going to adjust our school year calendar for the political and not-so-political reasons (none of which I care to get into).

The fact of the matter is we will now have 12 - yes twelve - sí doce - TWELVE WEEKS of summer this year in our Hillsborough County School System as we get out early (today 5/24) but go back later than normal (8/20) to shimmy back into the old pattern, the northern pattern, the FCAT pattern, the I-don’t-care-what-you-call-it-pattern just give me my wine and give it to me now please/por favor!

I promise you, I will help you - starting tomorrow - on a very daily (okay, maybe not every day if the party is really great somewhere!) basis to make this Summer fun, full of some cool learning tips, interesting contest fun, new DVD clips and our new BOCA costume character soon!  (Oh my, the bird/chicken/duck comes to life in front of our very eyes……………see below for what he looks like NOW as a costume character!)

 (We admit……he’s not so kid-friendly looking right now but wait until a professional costume design company gets a hold of our BOCA dude.  The new costume character is going to ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! and be at keynotes and mall visits and store openings across the country late 2007 and BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

So -until tomorrow - Happy Summer, Happy Educating, Happy Everything!!!!!!!!
