It has been said rank does not confer privilege or give power.  It imposes responsibility.  I look forward to the challenges and responsibilities of being BSES Assistant Principal.  Please feel free to call or visit my office.  I want to encourage everyone to continue working together in meeting the new more rigorous instructional standards.  My plans are to help in any way that I am needed.  BSES is a great school but we will be working this year to make it even better.

Mr. Rickie reads "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut" by Dr. Seuss

March...March...March.  It seems that is what many of us do all the time...march...march...march.  In out daily lives, we are faced with multiple tasks that we must accomplish each day.  Often, instead of completing all of the tasks in an orderly fashion, we are interrupted by distractions such as the telephone, that tempting TV show, the comfy couch, the challenging video game, etc.  Every day also holds many opportunities for us to spend some quality time with our family.  Let us slow our marching down and reach out to our loved ones.  As always, feel free to contact me.
