I'm away today at a professional conference, but am confident you will all work hard and help each other as needed.

I am very anxious to view the BPA team projects today! Excellence surely abounds :)
You are appreciated - Many of you helped with our Adopt and Angel program, and we received the following thank you note from our family: "I would like to deeply thank the sponsor of my family! My sons loved all of their gifts. I am especially thankful for the blankets! Thank you again for the hand up during our tough time."

Employment Opportunity - one or more students with Photoshop/Flash skills needed. The employer has requested before any contact is made, to view your portfolio. If you are interested in applying and feel you have an updated portfolio that represents these skills, let me know today, and I may include a link to your work in my reply to him.
Remember you make an impression each day concerning your work ethic and habits that directly relate to the type of employee you will be in the future. Are you doing your best? Using class time and resources wisely? Do you take initiative and problem-solve? Do you use social networking sites/Internet appropriately? Are you respectful and pleasant to be around? Employers ask me these questions when considering whether to interview you for a job, and I am always honest, because they usually value these skills over technical skills. Do not think that you can behave one way in class and "it would be different on a job". When I recommend you for a job and you receive that opportunity, it makes a huge impact on our program's reputation. It's also one of the MOST rewarding parts of my job - to see a student work hard, learn new skills, get a good job, and generate repeat requests for more great employees!

I is for Imagination!
BPA projects should be complete this week, and it's a good thing. I'm sure you are all ready to re-enter the curriculum world!
All grades earned this quarter have been published, please check for accuracy and let me know if you have questions. Also, if you are on a BPA Team, (not Computer Modeling,) you have been given all your hours except for 18. You should earn 9 this week, which works out if you finish by our Wednesday deadline; you will earn 9 additional hours during the last week of February when you are making your presentations.
P is for Passion!
