Latest Project-"Uplifting" or "Rising"?
I admit, I had very little to do with the latest addition to the middle school campus. I have no aptitude for painting, and I'm not a fan of working outdoors in 104 degree heat. However, Jeff would not be deterred. He forced me to endure a little of both. His goal was to create art that would remind students to rise above the status quo. He has also been on a "wing" kick since returning from Italy.
The clouds are whiteboard cut-outs. Provided the messages remain encouraging and positive, we expect that students will be allowed to make contributions throughout the year. Here's "El Jefe".

Wildlife Week
It's been a busy week in our courtyard. We don't have sharks, bears, or cormorants...but we do have wild dogs and mid-sized feral pigs. Happily, the coyote snacked on some ground squirrels.

Welcome back...
Prior to the start of school, I decided to do a bit of cleaning in my classroom. I found these guys hanging out underneath a bookshelf.
Remember kids, always wear leather gloves!

Hold on to yer hats...
Real live video...that's right--movin', breathin' action shots. Liddy girded her loins (ewwww) and plucked up the courage to do some water-skiing. With the proper coaching from her father, nephew, and husband she managed this...
She wasn't done, however. Oh, no. This two-time DCHS Athlete of the Year wasn't going to let something like "sore muscles" or "inexperience" stop her.
Boo ya.

Magic Dancing
Every summer we take our drive around the Leelanau peninsula. We usually start the day with the donuts from the Crescent Bakery in downtown Frankfort.
The really amazing part of the day was when Liddy did the legendary "Feather Dance". We were touring around the Grand Traverse lighthouse and, out of nowhere, a magical feather fell in front of Liddy. She seized the opportunity to perform the sacred ritual.
To really appreciate this beautiful event, you really have to scroll through the pictures quickly. Enjoy.
