ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
One day the creative camera club at Parkdale C.I. said to me…,\u201dWe see you made the<\/div>\n
cover of \u2018Rolling Stone Magazine..\u201d and presented me with this copy  A fake!<\/div>\n
A terrific fake that had surprising consequences.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
1) We had a staff meeting \u2026” Let\u2019s have a student- staff assembly in the auditorium\u2026and let\u2019s lighten up\u2026have some fun,\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
2) We met with the student council\u2026..\u2019What do you think of a staff-student rock and<\/div>\n
roll assembly\u2026simulate the rock stars?\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
3) And so began an annual staff-student assembly designed to make our<\/div>\n
school a good place to be,  The music was deafening only outdone by the<\/div>\n
scream of joy from the audience.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
4) See if you can separate staff from students in these pictures\u2026with credit<\/div>\n
to the rock  stars of those years<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
At some point in my career I was asked <\/div>\n
“What school did you like best\u201d  Either John Ricker or Evan Cruickshank. outstanding teachers, answered that question for me.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
THE BEST SCHOOL IS THE SCHOOL IN WHICH YOU TEACH.  YOU HAVE AN<\/div>\n
OBLIGATION TO MAKE IT SO.<\/div>\n
