Thanks and appreciation

[alt_sinistra]

I’ve just seen the last of our rising second years off, and we’re just wrapping up here now. A bit of tidying, and our debriefing with our counsellors, as always, then we get to get off home as well.

My thanks once more to everyone who put in so much time and energy on this week’s camping trip. As always, we owe a great deal of gratitude to the many specialists who gave a few hours to offering a nature walk, providing a lecture or discussion, or teaching our students fascinating new charms.

But this year, I particularly want to thank all our counsellors (Eric Bundy, Samantha Montgomery, Grant Page, Susan Bones, Ernie MacMillan, Draco Malfoy, Sally-Anne Perks, and Dean Thomas) for their good nature and hard work under less than ideal circumstances. I know this was not the most pleasant week to be camping, but they all did their best to make everything run as smoothly and enjoyably as possible. Well done and most appreciated, all of you.

As always, parents, if you have any questions about our activities or your child, please do contact me via the YPL clerk’s office or by journal.

Ugh. Damp all through. I need a day to dry out and warm up (and sleep), so let’s plan on Wednesday for parchment work and the write-up, and Friday if we need more time. That new form the oversight board wants is going to take hours, I can tell. But I did keep hour by hour notes as they requested, so it should be easy enough to do, just tedious. And I’ve all the expense reports (we’re under budget, comfortably, but there’s a couple of adjustments to categories we need to make.)

On those four letters of complaint you’ve already had (goodness, do people think I can rearrange the weather to suit?), I’m thinking of how to handle them. I suspect you might have one or two more coming. If there’s anything from the Hedigans, the Mackrells, or the Featherstones, please let me know immediately, and take the usual precautions. (Nothing I could take direct action on, but I ended up having to have words with all three of their children.)

See you Wednesday.
