I am in a good place in my life now. As a colleague said, it is our time. That is those of us who get out of the box. One principal, like most others, did not know what to do with me. He gave me a great compliment in a faculty meeting when he said, "Mr. Banks does not just get out of the box, he blows the box up!"
Now I am like Farrugut, "Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!" Let us turn those classroom boxes into bridges to the larger world!
Here are two of my latest attempts to get out of the box of the classroom and into others and the larger community.
(Thanks to my good friend and colleague, Jackie Hanisee, for the namage)
Grant One to the Madison County Junior Auxiallary: PORTAL (Pushing our Reach Through Alka-Rocket Launch)
Grant Two to MAST (Mississippi Academy for Mathematics and Science): Take Me To Your Liter
