Before and After the Down Weekend


Thursday went really well for the students. They got their computer project done on Excel, they finished their first math packets, and they got their Reading/Writing essay finished. Then the students went outside to play a game of Sharks and Minnows. Then following family time and supper, the students had a study night and an errand run.


Friday they had their morning classes. In math they played The Battle for the Pickles by trying to get the highest amount of points for the team. They do this by answering a math problem correctly, and then shooting a ball into a bucket. The team with the most points gets a jar of pickles. In the afternoon the students started holding signs for Conlin's Furniture. This was the kick-off of the down weekend.

The weekend then led to a lot of fun for the down weekend. There was Wiffle Ball (with a few extra twists thrown in). There were movie nights. There was holding signs for Conlin’s Furniture. All this activities kept the students active, and they were never bored.



Monday brought the students back to classes. There is a different science teacher for the week, and they are working with environmental science. The computer class played a simulation game that allowed them to run their own small business. Following the morning classes, the students then started their internships, and other students did some volunteer work around campus. The students that night enjoyed some fun board games.

  2. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob,

    sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
