Icons & Iconoclasts
POSTED AT 08:01 AM

Stony Point Tigers

Our season is over and football is done...

We ended with a RECORD of 14-1...

Our Tigers came together in a very special way...

We found we could win no matter who we came to play...

Unfortunately, we couldn't take it into the Championship game...

We still made it this far and there is no shame..

Thanks to my FB buddy and Stony Point Teacher Ms. Blanton

"To live is so startling..."
POSTED AT 08:59 AM

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”
Emily Dickinson

Thanks Attia for providing this great quote last night at the holiday party…reminding me of an earlier blog, “Awe creates Ahhhh…” We all need reminders in this hectic, haired (one friend chose to "dright" -drew instead of wrote- her hair on fire), holiday (and grading) season.

Finding Forrester
POSTED AT 08:15 AM

"In the novel 'The Catcher in the Rye,'author J.D. Salinger's protagonist [Holden Caulfield] says, what really knocks me out is a book that when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it." - Weekend Edition Saturday. (Jan. 30, 2010): From Literature Resource Center. "Rest In Privacy, J.D. Salinger" http://go.galegroup.com/ps/retrieve.do?sgHitCountType=None&sort=RELEVANCE&inPS=true&prodId=LitRC&userGroupName=tlc139098849&tabID=T005&searchId=R1&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&contentSegment=&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=1&contentSet=GALE%7CA217858982&&docId=GALE|A217858982&docType=GALE&role=LitRC

DIVINING HIS WAY
POSTED AT 08:21 AM

When you learn, teach. When you get, give.
Maya Angelou
US author & poet (1928 - )

DIVINING HIS WAY

Author: Patrick Beach AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Date: December 5, 2010 Publication: Austin American-Statesman (TX) Page Number: F01 ${ Word Count: 1858

The story of sin and redemption is a cliché. But there's a grain of truth to a cliché, and the truth is a buff and charismatic man standing with a classical guitar before a group of students at Manor Excel Academy. He is the rapper, filmmaker, speaker and author known as SaulPaul, he of the "Tower to Tower"CD and DVD, with a sequel on the way in the spring.
