Hello Parents & Guardians:

I hope you all had a nice weekend.  It seems strange to be sitting here on a Monday afternoon looking forward to a day off tomorrow! I know that it is a tradition to always celebrate Veteran's Day on November 11...but, I can't help but think it would be nice to have it become another "Monday Holiday."

This post is to give you a heads up about a small "bump in the road" for me, which will cause me to be out of school for a brief period of time.  I had my left hip replaced just under two years ago due to an old injury that led to bone on bone arthritis in my hip joint.  To make a long story short, the hardware is not working (it's actually making things worse).  So, I need to have the "old stuff" taken out and replaced with "new stuff" (that hopefully lasts MUCH longer...).  The surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, November 20.  Based on past experience, my best case scenario would have me back at school sometime during the week of December 8.  I will have a better idea about when I will return once I begin my recovery.  Plans are in place at Ambrose and Lynch to cover for me while I am out.  Your children/my students will be in excellent hands! My plan is to put my full energy into recovering from surgery so that I may return to school as soon as possible.  

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

All the best,

Patrick
