Website & Math Club

There are two projects I am current working on: a website and a math club.

First the website:
The website for my school is four years old and has not been updated. The site still has the previous principal's name posted. There aren't any good pictures, the links don't work, and there isn't much information with much of it being wrong. Saddened by the site, I contacted a few people at the school and looked into contributing or building a new site. To my excitement, I quickly got the nod from the principal to work on the site. The extent and details of what needs to be included on the site is still left to be discussed by I am very excited and anxious to launch a new website for the school. I will keep you posted on the progress and hopefully, if allowed, post the link to the school.

Math Club:
There are a couple of students in my school that are very advanced in math. Unfortunately, there is very little opportunity to challenge them and advance their understanding of math. As a result, I talked with my classroom mentor (teacher I work with) about starting a club. Not to my surprise, she was very supportive and encouraged the idea -she even proposed lending some advanced text books. I then talked to another teacher who runs an after school program to avoid in overlap or clash between programs. Lastly, I talked to my program director at Penn. On all levels, the green light was given. The last hurdle is the principal. I feel confident and optimistic that my idea will be carried out. I am still working out the details but once the administrative questions are answered, I will post the plan for the program and its progress.
