For me, the school year is never “over”. Summer marks the beginning of new challenges and new learning opportunities. This summer is no exception. I leave for the AP Environmental Science reading in about 72 hours, and upon my return, I pack for a 7-day trip to Colorado. Four of my best students will be participating in a national Youth Policy Summit on Energy Efficiency at the Keystone Science School. This will be my third trip to Keystone in three years, and I’m really looking forward to it. When I return from Colorado, I’ve got 24 hours to re-pack my bag for a trip to Auburn to observe their AP Summer Institute in Biology, Chemisty and Physics. Like I told my students, June isn’t really a good time for me to wind down, it’s a good time to gear up. I’ll rest in July. My wife rented a cabin right on the Tuckaseegee River for our family.
Speaking of rivers…please read the next post.
