A pretty good idea

So, we’ve been having these fun nights for a few years now, and I finally wised up. Instead of having the Senior class help with with all three fun night, I had two dozen Seniors doing the first one. Picked a dozen from the Senior class and a dozen from the Junior class for the [...]

I like the heavyweights.

I have an unhealthy love of card stock.
Every morning I get a small piece of card stock, fold it in half, then put it in my back right pocket. It stays with me throughout the day and when I realize I need to do something later, it goes on the list.

A shrine?

What took me so long?

I have been teaching preschool for a million bazillion years and every winter at recess I go on and on about how I’m going to buy some winter coveralls so I won’t freeze my tuckus off. Then, we go inside and I forget all about it until the next time I’m standing outside in [...]

Advent Chapel, check.

Thanks to everyone who helped me decide which songs to use for chapel. I lead chapel yesterday at school. I’ve become pretty predictable in the format of these chapels:
Lloyd says something about a Christmas Carol, We sing a Christmas Carol, then someone reads a few bible verses on which the Carol was based. Repeat as [...]
