About the "Best of Blue & Gold" Program

Welcome to the Best of Blue & Gold! Each week CFCS staff members will receive a Tech Tuesday email. Complete the weekly Tech Tuesday to earn an entry into the weekly drawings and to earn individual awards. Weekly drawings will take place on Tuesday mornings. Winners will be announced in the Tech Tuesday email.

The Best of Blue & Gold kicks off in November and runs through the end of April.

April 23rd Tech Tuesday - Summer Send-Off

All good things must come to an end. This is the last Tech Tuesday for the 23-24 school year! We are wrapping up with a fun Tech Tuesday and FIVE special awards to celebrate the end of the school year!

Summer Send-Off Message - Write a short message to your future self that will remind you of this school year. You can include any of the following: your most significant accomplishment, your most unexpected challenge, a funny classroom memory, what you are most excited for next year, your favorite trend of the year, a current event that impacted classroom discussion, a book/movie/song that resonated with you, or a fad you are hoping disappears by next year. You will access the Padlet via a submission request link. This means that you won't see other Padlet submissions until you post your own.

For an additional weekly drawing entry: If your classroom/office/workspace walls could talk, what would they say?

Add your summer send-off message to the Padlet by the end of the day on Monday, April 29th, to win one of 4 gift cards to Gaia Salt Cave. The Copley Cup of Coffee is also up for grabs this week!
