Hey, Mom! (Do not forget your Mother on her Day! Remember!)

Hey Mom, bring me two waters so I’m set?

Where’s my under armor? And my visor?

Are my tights washed? My skates are dull.

Hey Mom, can you call the advisor?

Hey Mom,  I wasn’t yelling at you.

I didn’t mean to! You were yelling at me!

You never let me do anything my friends do

Hey Mom, would you chill, lighten up, just do!

Hey Mom, I don’t like the way this looks for the prom –

I don’t like the color, how could you think this was me?

I just can’t wear this, it’s this, it’s that it’s…Oh, Mom!?! 

 

Hey Mom, I’ve been studying all morning getting knowledge.

Can’t I go out, I’ll be back by ten?

But, I know the material, gone over it again and again.

Oh, Mom – I hate my life! I can hardly wait until college.

 

Hey Mom – But I did call and let you know

Don’t you understand, I couldn’t call at that time.

No, you can’t not let me go – it’s a great band

Oh, Mom – I hate you! You never understand!

Hey, Mom, please don’t embarrass me at the game

By screaming so loud, it’s just so tacky

But, hey mom, I like that you’re over there in the stand

Watching me play, you know that don’t you Mom, you understand?

 

Hey Mom, can you get me to the rink

At 5 – I know you have to take off from work early?

Thanks, Mom, I’m so sorry but the team has a special thing

I have to be there, thanks Mom – I love you—really.

 

Hey, Mom, please when you pick me up at the dorm

Don’t come inside. Just wait outside, call me on the cell

I’ll be right down — it’s the norm.

Don’t ring the bell!

 

Hey, Mom, I’ve read the classifieds

There are no jobs, I can’t make all those calls.

Well, OK, I guess  I can send that resume you made for me (sigh).

OK, I’m lost, where’s the post office, down Lexington to what?

 

Hey Mom, well I’m bringing my friends by,

Don’t let Dad embarrass me with his jokes, OK?

I’ll just die if he’s silly again — you won’t let him do that?

You’ll talk to him about that?

All right, Mom I’ll take that extra course.

But I’ve just been going to school for months it never ends!

Can’t I have a little vacation, I don’t know what’s worse

Can’t I spend a little time with my friends?

 

You do like him Mom?

Oh, I hoped you would.

Yes, I really do

I am so glad you do too!

Hey Mom, can you take care of the kids this weekend?

We’re going to Vermont with a friend.

And Mom, the cats get kibble in morning and meat at night,

We love you mom, sorry for the short notice, talk to you tonight.

 

Hey Mom, I’m sorry I can’t see you Mother’s Day.

Are you all right, what will you be doing today?

Going to the club – great – you know we love you in every way?

Though we may not show it you’re always with us

even when you’re away.

Connors Comes Back Again. WP Board of Education to Bring Interim Superintendent Back for Year 2 — No Possible Successor to Fill Shoes at this time.

Timothy Connors, Interim Superintendent of Schools (left) with Fred Seiler, his Assistant Superintendent for Business appearing on PEOPLE TO BE HEARD last week on White Plains TV’s where Connors said he would like to come back as Interim Superintendent. Thursday the Board of Education announced they wanted to do exactly that.

WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. From Michele Schoenfeld, Clerk to the White Plains Board of Education. May 8, 2014:

The White Plains Board of Education plans to negotiate an extension of the contract with Timothy P. Connors as Interim Superintendent of Schools for the year beginning July 1, 2014.

As first reported last week by WPCNR news, Mr. Connors first alluded to his willingness to come back for a second year as Interim Superintendent of Schools to John Bailey and Peter Katz White Plains Television’s PEOPLE TO BE HEARD which may be seen at www.whiteplainsweek.com. White Plains Week was first to report this possibility last Friday evening.

Authorization to do so will be placed on the agenda for approval at the Regular Board Meeting on May 12th.

After a nationwide search for a new superintendent and an extended interview process, the Board concluded that the best option for the district at this time is to ask Mr. Connors to stay on for an additional year.  He returned to White Plains last year as Interim Superintendent, after havingn served a seven-year term as Superintendent in the district, from 2002 through 2009.

Board President Rosemarie Eller said, “We are confident that we have made the proper choice at this time for the students, staff  and community.  Mr. Connors will ensure continuity and stability as he continues to move the district forward.  The search for a permanent replacement will begin in the fall.”

Mr. Connors had a distinguished career in public school administration before coming to White Plains in 2002.  He had been Superintendent in Danbury, CT, Bloomington, MN, and Woonsocket, RI.  He did his undergraduate work at Springfield College in Massachusetts and has a Master’s Degree and a Certificate of Advanced Studies from Harvard.  He also participated in the Urban Superintendents Program at Harvard.
