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.

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,
Cheta, 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.
