Calling all Dads!
On Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. we will be having our 2nd annual WATCH D.O.G.S. kickoff meeting.   
WATCH D.O.G.S. is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student’s life.  Our goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to help promote a safe and positive school environment.
Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers. . . . this is your chance to have a night out alone with your Robertson student in a fun atmosphere at school! 





College Week


This week we are recognizing the importance furthering ones education!


I started my college career at High Point University (then it was College).  I grew up in a house of educators. My mom was a 4th grade teacher and my dad was a football coach, P.E. teacher, math teacher and shop teacher!  So...from a very young age I KNEW I would become a teacher.  BUT once I got out on my own...I decided I wanted to be an accountant!  OOOPS I didn't know you needed to know how to balance a check book!!! I soon dropped all those classes associated with accounting and put myself back where I belonged! Elementary Education! My freshman year was lots of fun.  I pledged the best sorority EVER...
and made the cheerleading squad. However, I became very homesick and after my sophomore year I transferred closer to home.
Radford University soon became my home.  I had finished all my general courses and was ready to TEACH!  Or so I thought...I spent the next 3 years at Radford (sister school to Virginia Tech)!
Having gone to Radford to be closer to home...my family soon moved to Georgia...should have stayed in North Carolina. 
I will dig up pictures from WAAAAYYY back to recognize College week and share more later!


Mr. Kidd was our first College Week Presenter! 
He got us all started with something we ALL like...MONEY...This is how much you can make by graduating from High School...BUT...
This is HOW much you can make if you graduate from College!
Mr. Kidd showed us plans for the building of a PIZZA HUT...that got ALL of our ATTENTION!
He talked to us about how much math he has to use on a daily basis. 
Thank you so much for encouraging us to do our homework and to become life long learners!


Have a wonderful evening!
