Alice's Corner 5-13

What a delightful meeting we had on Tuesday.

Our MCAT student Tyler Markle was presented to the club.  His uncle Jeff Markle and his grandmother Judy Markle accompanied him.  His uncle made it his responsibility to go to the school every month to check on his scholastic achievements.

This young man will be graduating this week.  His achievements are to be commended.  For having skipped his entire sophomore year.  Hhe put his nose to the grindstone and became an outstanding student.  In September he will be going to Illinois to join the Navy.  He will become an electrician’s mate.  This will serve him well in the future when he goes out into the real world.

Denise Coronado and his English teacher Ms. Wren spoke of what a dedicated young man he has become.  He came out of his shell and faced a hard challenge.

We are to congratulate all of the staff at MCATS for their commitment in producing such wonderful young citizens.

Our speaker was Sheila McCurdy.  She spoke to us on how to unclutter our desks and offices.  Linda Hampton in introducing her spoke of the little leprechauns that come in and mess with her desk.  I think we can all relate.  A clean desk produces efficiency.  Don’t fight your desk only essentials should be on your desk.

Sheila has written a book entitled, The Floor is Not an Option.

Sheila also works with a task force addressing the issues of hoarders.  In Arizona there are at least three hoarders on every block.  Kind of scary isn’t it?
