Attendance: Sarah, Vanessa, Wendy, Robin, Jerry
Location: The Saint
The Best Bits: Sarah and Vanessa looking hot on their way to an all-girl wedding. Best of all the wedding was at the same location as their wedding. We found out Sarah bought her dress in about 10 minutes right before showing up for cocktails. Did I mention they looked hot.
We missed Ann because she was away for the weekend with her mother. But we will be drinking with the Gormans Tuesday night - I'm guessing they are a really good mother/daughter drinking team.
The LWSD portion of the group discussed a stirring message from our fearless leader. Ask Wendy to forward it to you.
Some political talk about the upcoming election and who is voting for whom.
The first batch of chips was burnt. But don't worry, we got a new batch.
Wendy had the best weekend plans. They involved boating.
Episode of The Classroom: The one where the sup sends out a district wide pep-talk email that goes a rye. He/She is baffled by the results.
Questions? I keep forgetting to ask everyone to generate a question. I'm sure Sarah would have come up with a good one. Any questions for us?

LEAP (off a building would be nice)
Attendance: Wendy, Ann, Robin, Jerry
Location: 611
Need to know: You will be happy to know you missed a full day LEAP day today. At the elementary level we had a UW prof. talk for 2 1/2 hours on autism. The first part explaining a bit about what it is and the range of its expression in kids was OK. Then we are over an hour in with over an hour to go and she says "Only a 5 minute break and NO ONE LEAVE THE ROOM". Needless to say, teachers left the room.
While Secondary had a monotone lawyer telling teachers all the ways they can be sued by the parents of students with autism. Very inspiring from what I understand.
In the Public Sector: Ann had an enjoyable week telling off her boss on Monday after he returned from vacation after leaving her to deal with last week's budget deadline - not for the first time. (I'm considering having a sub the week before report cards are due and leaving in my sub plans - "Do my report cards.")
Episode of the Classroom: A teacher has a sub during important days/weeks of school and writes in the important work for her over eager new teacher sub to do. I.E. set up and conduct a conference with so-and-so's crazy military dad. Or rehearse and direct the school play.
Question for Mandy: Guess we decided we hope to ask our next question in person.
