A quick comment

For those of you checking out the T-bird blog please be sure to click on an add or two. All the money that gets made form the adds goes to support Shorewood. I should have thought of it earlier so hopefully in the future someone can continue to impart the wisdom that I have bestowed on you all while earning a little extra.

Thanks,

Tim

Up coming things

2011-03-22T20:49:00.000-07:00

Greetings Parents:

A few more things to mark on your calender. Coming up in April there will be a nice food spread put on by the PTA during a Shorewood baseball game. As many of you now know the Baseball team is Ranked Number One in the state for 3A. What do I get? Some tasty Baseball type food for a nominal fee. Heck someone might even be there yelling "Get your Cracker Jacks Here!". Also do check out the other sports. Like I mentioned before its great fun.

Second I have heard rumblings about what is Senior Skip Day. Don't worry about. It's one of those things that seniors do (the rebels that they are).

I should mention that Senior Prom is fast approaching so don't be shell shocked at requests for cash.

There was something else but I will have to try and remember later.

Stay tuned,

Tim

Just a gentle reminder

2011-03-20T19:15:00.001-07:00

If you have a senior why not give them a good time and by em a Senior spree ticket.
The money is well spent and a great and safe time will be had. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Parents of Seniors

2011-03-16T22:34:00.000-07:00

Please don't forget to buy those Senior Spree tickets. It is a wonderful time for your senior to have after graduation. Games, places to go, all transportation and food provided. Just good Ol' safe fun.

Spring sports are upon Shorewood. I encourage all of you to get out there and cheer on the baseball, track, soccer, golf and softball teams. It's a lot of fun for free!

One more day to sleep in until next month for Seniors. HSPE is almost over, for now.

Stay tuned.

Your fearless leader and explorer of Shorewood High School.

I'm baccccccccccckkkkkkk!

Greetings Shorewood Parents:

I have been remiss in my duties over the past couple of months. Well I'm here to say that mayhem is back and I will be posting once again on a semi regular basis:).

This return to PTSA blogging is to inform all you parents of Seniors to BUY Senior Spree Tickets. It is a great time for your senior after they graduate, enuff said.

It has been a fairly smooth year hear at Shorewood. AS I walk around the halls I am always amazed at the great things so many students are doing. Don't be shy with your student ask them a question about school you have been wanting to know. If they won't answer you, ask their best friend.

Ok parents time for me to get back to work. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to tell your student how cool they really are:)

Tim

Seasons Greetings!

2010-12-20T10:20:00.000-08:00

Shorewood PTSA Parents:

I hope you are warm and happy during this holiday season. I will be blogging once again now that I have survived the first round of College applications with my son.
Look for further updates coming soon.

With Warmest Wishes,

Tim

After the Party

2010-10-20T21:03:00.000-07:00

Shorewood Parents:

Well it was a grand homecoming week culminating in a loud and fun Pep Rally. We didn't win the game but it was great to see such spirit and community happening at Shorewood. The dance, from the teenage reports, went well and a fun time was had by those who attended.

We now enter into the final week or so of the first quarter. For you freshmen parents Shorewood uses four grading quarters and two semesters. The first quarter is usually just a check on how the ol' grades are doing. I wouldn't worry too much if the grades are not what you might be accustomed to. Please keep in mind that the first year of high school is a big transition for your teen. If you do have concerns please feel free to contact your student's teachers (with first consulting your student)for further input.

If your student is considering a four year college or university please remember to have them take the SAT and or the ACT during the next few months. Schedules are available at Shorewood.

Lastly, thanks to all of you who came out to all the football home games. The season so far has had its ups and downs but the return to good solid football continues. Until next time.

Tim

Don't Forget

2010-10-12T20:33:00.000-07:00

If you are so inclined please do come to the PEP rally this Friday beginning a little after 12:00pm. Bring ear plugs it gets pretty loud. Also come on out for the Homecoming game against Mount Lake Terrace. The game begins at 7:00pm. Lastly, the big home coming dance is Saturday night beginning around 8 pm. This typically is the one formal affair in which all grades may attend. If your student hasn't made a reservation for dinner yet. Try Scott's or Anthony's on the waterfront in Edmonds. Both are good spots pre or post dance.

The rest of this week is filled with good ol' fashioned Timfoolery. The power puff dogdeball game is coming up as well as the volleyball game. It's all fun, so if your feeling kinda blue head on up to Shorewood over the next couple of nights for a good laugh.

Until next time.

Tim

Home Coming Is Upon Us

2010-10-09T13:14:00.000-07:00

Greetings Shorewoodians:

I hope your student is engaged and feeling confident now that we are well underway in the school year. If you have any questions please do ask me or give the school a call, we are here to help. Now on to the fun stuff.

Its Homecoming. This year Shorewood will take on Mount Lake Terrace so put your blue and green on and come on out. Also there are lots of fun things happening during the school week. There are dress up days all week with Monday being my favorite, pajama day. It's the one day a year I can roll out of bed and not worry about changing into my work clothes. There is a volleyball game and a powerpuff dodge ball game. The usual power puff football game was discontinued due to a few to many injuries. Besides the Friday night game if you really want to see the spirit that is around Shorewood come to the Homecoming assembly. It is loud, filled with skits, spirit and class rivalry. You are more than welcome to attend.

That's it for now. Stay tuned.

Up next. Tim's wild trip to get his mail.

Whoa...it has been too long!

2010-09-30T21:18:00.000-07:00

Shorewoodian Parents and Friends:

I apologize for the delay in my ever evolving updates, school became a little busy. Now though it is time to move forward and give you the happenings around campus.

First, Homecoming is coming. October 15th is the day. The preceding week is full of all kinds of good clean fun. Dress up days, spirit days culminating in a big ol' fashion pep rally. As in years past these pep rallies can be loud and a lot of fun.
Please come on in and see for yourself. Parents are most welcome. I would recommend bringing ear plugs for the volume. There is also a dance on Saturday the 16th. This is the big one for all the under classpeeps so don't be surprised if your students want to raid your bank account for clothes, shoes, dinner, flowers, anchovies, breakfast cereals, eggs, beef..etc. It is a great time for all.

PSAT is also on Saturday the 16th. If you have a sophomore or a junior have them sign up and take it. It is great practice for the SAT plus depending on the score your student gets may qualify them for awards later.

Lastly come on out to the football game this Friday. The T-Birds will be taking on non conference foes Lakeside.

Until next time.

And Forward We All Move

2010-09-21T20:53:00.000-07:00

Greeting Shorewoodian Parents: It has been a few days since my last update for you all. I wish I could tell you so much has happened around the campus but alas, no.
What I can tell you though, there is a DANCE this Friday after the Football game.
Dance starts around 9 p.m. Encourage your student to give it a look, sometimes they can be fun. Also come to the Biggest Football Game of the season....Shorewood VS. Shorecrest. You have two teams with records of 1-2 and the underdog T-birds looking for their first cross town victory in six years. There will be a picture taken of the stands and fans at half time, so show up decked out in your best Green, Blue and White outfit.

I hope those broken computers are being fixed all right. The tech lab is now open for repairs. Also the PSAT is coming up soon so if you have a Sophomore or Junior encourage them to sign up and take the test. Its a good practice test for the SAT and also if you score well enough potential college scholarships may be available. Cost is $19.00. I forgot the date, but it is the second or third weekend in October.

If you attended the open house last Thursday hopefully you didn't get lost as you met your student's teachers. Shorewood is a big long campus and can be a little tricky at times. That's all for now Parents. Feel free to drop me a question anytime about anything. You can also call the front office or check out the Shorewood High School home page for further details of upcoming events.

Tim

All is Well

2010-09-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

So far so good over the past couple of weeks. First, if you know a football player congratulate them on their Victory of last week. It is the first time the T-Birds have won since 2008. Look for more victories to come! GO T-Birds. Second the tech room is now open for business. So if your student's computer needs a little work, ow is the time to get it done. Also coming up on the weekend of the 24th there will be the first dance of the year. Sometimes these dances can be a lot of fun to go to. It is also a good way for your underclassman to get involved. Lastly, I hope things are settling down now that we are in our first Full Week of school. Most schedule changes should be done and the daily routine of getting up, going back to bed, falling asleep in the shower, eating breakfast and going back to bed, and finally making it to school should be in full swing. Stay tuned the adventure continues!

LAST LAST THING: THURSDAY IS CURRICULUM NIGHT AT SHOREWOOD. Come on up, bring your students schedule, and meet the teachers. It is a fun, and quick, way to put names with faces.

Tim

Football and Technology!

2010-09-08T21:34:00.000-07:00

Greetings Shorewoodians:

If you did not have the chance last Friday to come out and cheer the T-Bird Football team on you missed a great game. They did loose 13-7 but looked mighty good doing so. I believe it is only a matter of the next few games before the Wins start coming in and the climb back to competitive football begins. If your so inclined, the next game is at Edmonds Woodway Stadium this Friday at 8pm. The T-Birds opponent this week will be the Lynwood Royals. Come on out and cheer your favorite player on and the team to victory.

Ok now on to a little business. As we begin our second week of school and first taste of One Hundred minute periods don't be surprised if your freshman or sophomore student comes home a little cranky. It takes a couple of weeks to adjust and get in the groove to this type of schedule. Also if your student is having computer problems all ready, and there will be lots this year (its year four for the laptops) be patient. The tech room will begin looking at issues starting next week. Remind your student to take good care of their laptop ( My son learned what it felt like to give up a C-note last year for a broken screen) to avoid any charges at the end of the year. Up next: "Tim's wild trip down the 100's" and "How do I ask for help from my teacher when I don't get it."

Until next time Shorewood.

Tim

The First Few Days

2010-09-02T20:55:00.001-07:00

So far the first couple of days have gone smoothly. I am helping freshman find their classes and chasing the Sophomores and Juniors away from taunting the seniors(just kidding). Typically the first week or so of school is filled with getting use to the routine. Wake up, shower, eat, pick out what to wear, go back to bed, wake up, answer fifty two texts about homework that you did not do, call your friend for a ride, miss the ride and take the bus. There are also those pesky schedule changes that seem to randomly happen. You get what you think is the perfect schedule then WHAM! your handed another that makes no sense. It can be a trying week or so, especially for your freshman student, yet it does get better rather quickly. Before you know things will be running smoothly and that little person won't be so little anymore. In future blogs I tell you about how your student can get more involved in what Shorewood has to offer (there is quite a bit). So until then have a wonderful Labor day weekend.

Also remember the football game tomorrow at 7PM. Come and where your green and blue and cheer on the T-birds against Everett High School. Also here are a few picks from tonight's pregame feed.

Tim

Don't Forget This Friday!

2010-08-30T21:16:00.000-07:00

Just a friendly reminder that 9/3 is the first home football game. Get everyone you know to come out. There is a new look and new coaches for the T-birds this year. Come on out and be ready to yell, scream and cheer your T-birds on. The game is at the Shoreline Stadium, be in the stands by 6:30 and ready to rumble.

Tim out.

And A New School Year Begins!

2010-08-30T08:49:00.000-07:00

Greetings New and Returning parents of Shorewood High School. If you are a parent of a brand new squeaky clean Freshman, get ready for a fun and busy year. If you are a parent of a Sophomore or Junior then I do not need to add anything new to what you all ready know. If you are a parent of Soon To Be Graduating Senior, hold on to your hats that tornado flying around the house is about to go F4 (well maybe F3).

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer, such as it was, and participated in lots of fun activities. First let me introduce myself. My name is Tim, just plain Tim. I am a parent of a Senior here at Shorewood and I also have worked at Shorewood for the Past twelve years. Your sons and daughters may know of me for I am legendary around the campus for being waaaayyyy cooooolll (not really) and fun to hang out with (totally not true). This blog, which I hope you will refer to often, will be a place for you to come and find quick reference to the happenings at Shorewood. I will do my best to keep you informed of the latest going ons and who is dating who and what she said about him and OMG did you see what he was wearing today type of stuff. Or if you have a quick question about something I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

Again welcome back everyone and lets get this party started!

Tim
