Week 4

Homecoming Dance was a success and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Congratulations to Marcie Hernandez - 2010 Homecoming Queen. Congrats to the rest of the court as well. You were all beautiful. The escorts were a little sweaty but still handsome.

It is always tough to play a volleyball game after a home game, and especially a Homecoming game and dance, but the Lady Bears didn't seem phased on Saturday morning. Congrats to the Lady Bears for their decisive win in 3 games over Covington. The score was 25-17, 25-22, 25-22. Great job girls!

The Bears suffered a tough loss on Friday to TCA, but, they never lose their spirit. Keep working Bears. District play is right around the corner.

Vickery's Vit & Visdom:

Responsibility:
"Responsibility is the price of greatness."
WINSTON CHURCHILL

"Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do.
This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without
pain."
MARK TWAIN

Here's the Vit:
When I see a player on a team, after making a mistake, point at himself/herself and say"My Bad", I have to admire the gesture, but it doesn't excuse the mistake. My Bad....let's think about this grammatically. Not only is it a fragment, but it makes no sense. My bad what? My bad mistake? My bad for making you look bad? Let's just shorten it even more and say "M.B. and point at ourselves. When I am around cliches and sayings long enough, I find myself saying them also, even if the slang is grammatically imperfect. I am instantly forgiven and excused from responsibility. NOT! (Another grammatically incorrect cliche) Here at work, if I make a mistake on grading or teaching, all I have to do is say, "Sorry, Mr. Lockett, My bad" and everything is okay. Again NOT! So when I mess up your grades and you get a C instead of a B, just remember "My Bad" excuses it all. And when you mess up on a test or don't turn in your homework, or give less than your best effort in my class, just remember "My Bad" fixes everything. NOT!
