School's Out!!

Whoo-Hoo! Yippee! Yeowza! Hip Hip Hooray!

The busses left down our school's driveway for the last time this year!

As teachers... we waved enthusiastically to the kids, then calmly returned to the building and...

SCREAMED AND YELLED AND HOLLERED AND JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND RAN DOWN THE HALLS!! School's out! School's out! Then we participated in a much beloved game that is played whenever we need to let off some steam. We call it the Noodle game. We have cut foam swimming "noodles" into 3 foot sections to create "swords" or "whackers" or whatever pet name you'd like to bestow upon them. Then we have sliced small sections off the ends of other noodles to create small disks. The goal of the game is to place the disk on top of your hand and try not to let it fall off while at the same time using your "sword whacker" to try to topple your opponents disk to the ground. With a staff of 30+ teachers... this game is a riot! If only the kids could see us swatting each other and laughing like hyenas, they would think we've all lost it!

Well... off to recover, put my feet up for the summer, and prepare myself for August 27... and the beginning of another school year!

And ya know... even with all the exhaustion of this job, I wouldn't trade it for the world!!
