*I made plans to attend my first Clinton School kickball game Sunday to watch our team ( the SOB’s–Students of Bill) play. When I arrived at the field shortly after the game was to have started, I discovered that we had won by forfeit. Instead of watching us compete against another team, I took in a few minutes of an intra-squad scrimmage match
*Thanks to Harvell Howard, Viviane Rossi and Ali Turro for participating in a Clinton School forum at the national ProLiteracy convention held in Little Rock last week. Each did an outstanding job
*As part of the continuing efforts to “green” Sturgis Hall, new toilets are being installed in the school’s restrooms. While this may not sound very exciting, it’s important for each of us to do what we can to protect the environment. Little things, including efficient appliances and equipment, mean a lot–particularly in a building constructed in 1899.
*This week Clinton School student Jay Thompson, who is working to promote a United States Public Service Academy as part of his Capstone project, returns to Little Rock to introduce his boss, Chris Myers Asch who will be speaking here as part of our public program series on Tuesday. CLICK HERE for more on the program.
*Our Political Animals caucus (composed of second-year students) will meet Tuesday morning to project the Electoral College totals and to preview Tuesday night’s McCain-Obama debate in Nashville.
*I’m hoping to be in Helena this week where three of our students will be participating in an Arkansas DeltaMade marketplace as part of the Helena Blues Festival.
*Congratulations to second-year student James Mitchell, who arrived safely back in Tanzania where he will be working for the next several months with an orphanage as part of his Capstone project.
*Congrats to Director of Development Eric Wilson who was selected for the Leadership Little Rock program.
*There are some nice photos of students Beatrice Biira and Dimas Espinola in Sunday’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette feature on the Clinton School Scholarship Luncheon.
