 Sunday, October 24, 2005-- The site has been updated: + Privacy Policy updated for upcoming changes to the site. Saturday, August 8, 2005-- Wondering why there hasn't been any site updates over the summer? Some big news has happened that you may not be aware of. As many of Lorenzo's former students may have figured out when they stopped by during the Back to School Fling on August 5th, Lorenzo Arredondo will not be returning to Daffron Elementary this year. Seeking a new adventure in a new place, Lorenzo and his wife Charlotte have moved up to New Hampshire! The drive from Plano, Texas to Rochester, New Hampshire took four days to complete and in the end a total of 1,946 miles were traveled. Keep checking in to SlyTheFox.com and We will keep you updated on the big move! Wednesday, June 1, 2005-- SlyTheFox.com's May Contribution Campaign is over. The select few webpages that contained donation links have returned to normal. SlyTheFox.com's staff will now be looking at the operational costs involved, such as web hosting and domain registration, and the effectiveness of the Contribution Campaign. The staff will then plan a course of action that will keep the site going for years to come. Plano schools are out on summer vacation and Mr. Arredondo wishes his students well in the future and hopes they check in with him occasionally by revisiting this website. Good luck in third grade!

SlyTheFox.com continues to be updated weekly with Mr. Arredondo's classroom spelling words and is updated daily with homework assignments. We'd thought we'd let you know, just in case you've been thinking we never update! SlyTheFox.com will be awarding a prize to one lucky student at Daffron Elementary in Plano, Texas. See The Teacher Years for more information! Saturday, February 19, 2005-- Lorenzo has returned from his trip to Austin, sponsored by the Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE). The event, ATPE Lobby Day, allowed Lorenzo to meet with House Representative Brian McCall and Senator Florence Shapiro, head of the Senate Education Committee. Following the meeting, Senator Shapiro had negative comments to share with the Austin American-Statesman newspaper about Lobby Day. The paper states that Senator Shapiro disagreed with teachers going to Austin to meet with legislators while substitutes covered for them. What surprised Lorenzo most from the meeting with Senator Shapiro was that she appeared delighted to see teachers active in Austin discussing their opinions on bills being debated in congress and then is critical about the teachers being there in the first place. In Lorenzo's case, and for all of the teachers in Austin he met, a state personal-leave day was used. Texas provides personal-leave days for teachers each year. For Lorenzo, the event did have its benefits, as Lorenzo presented the Representative and Senator with letters containing specific concerns of his elementary campus. Also, Lorenzo walked away with a door prize from a training held before Lobby Day and was featured in the ATPE newsletter! Below are photos of the Texas Capital, a link to the Austin American-Statesman article, and a link to Lorenzo's appearance in the ATPE newsletter: Click on the thumbnails for a larger version:

Sunday, January 23, 2005-- Lorenzo Arredondo will be traveling to Austin, TX on January 30-31 to meet with legislators. The event is Lobby Day, sponsored by the Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE), who sends educators to Austin to discuss the successes and needs of Texas schools and how the lawmakers in Austin can make a difference. Lorenzo, who will one day pursue a political career after teaching for many years, volunteered to head to Austin. Lorenzo hopes his discussion help improve the education of children and the workplace for educators across the state. Wednesday, January 12, 2005-- SlyTheFox.com adds some new photos!
