What are your plans for Halloween, are you doing anything with your daughter?
We’ll probably go out and do a little trick or treating, but Halloween is always interesting for me because it is my anniversary. This will be year 21.
How about election day?
All that I hope to do is to get in and out as soon as I can. Teachers still have to work that day, and everyone is talking about how long the lines will be. And talking about the election, I think it is going to be a very close one this year.
As basketball season approaches what are your goals for the team?
Really, I’m looking forward to this season. I think Girl’s Varsity have the capability to upset some other teams. With their experienced sophomores, Chetta, Cassie, and Lindsay, I think they’ll do well.
How about your JV Girls?
As far as my team, I will try to give them the basic fundamentals. Last year we had three wins and we hope to continue that success. I have some good players returning, like Cathy, Jordan, Laura, and Mackenzie.
The middle school visits are wrapping up, any thoughts?
I have really enjoyed doing these visits. And from what I can see, the Governor’s School has made additional efforts to get our name out there. But let me say one thing. We are always going to be dealing with the same recruitment problems until we form a committee and start talking to the parents and kids at the fifth and sixth grade levels. We want qualified students, but we need to start earlier on so that they’re prepared for Maggie Walker when eighth grade comes.
Tell me about the recent street cleaning/parking incident that occurred last week?
Some of the kids who park in the street didn’t see the street cleaning signs and the city towed a couple of their cars. Students need to be careful of where they park and they should look for those signs.
