There was standing room only for the Bulldog Bash last night! The old High School gym was packed with parents, friends, and other relatives to meet the 2010-2011 Bulldogs. Those in attendance not only got to meet the players, they were treated to performances by the Eustace High School Cheerleaders and the Bulldog Band. Thanks to everyone for coming out and showing your support last night! I want to thank the Athletic Booster Club for all their work in making last night a success.
Also, the Meet the Teacher night a the Middle School brought out a good crowd also. Below is a picture of the event. Thanks to all the parents, grandparents, friends, and other relatives that came out for this event.

See below the example of how to put a "YouTube" style Flash video in your Moodle, even if it's not from YouTube and even if you don't have a YouTube block/mod.
This just a matter of putting the block/html editor in "Source" mode and pasting the code provided by the video hosting service. In this case it is TeacherTube, though it can be done as easily with SchoolTube, UStream, Animoto, etcetera. When doing it like this in the margin it is necessary to adjust the resolution numbers (a little less than half) in the code but in the main Topic areas you can use full size or maybe larger.
