School's out...but our vacation project is not over!

We've finally reached the end of the school year!  I say "finally", but it has really flown by...faster than previous years.

Our vacation to Louisville, Kentucky is still on.  We have hotels booked and the tickets for the Mega Caverns purchased.  We will be working on getting the remainder of the items booked in the next week or two.

I can't say "thank you" enough to our winning group, since everything is so well-planned!  We simply go to the websites of the places they've recommended, buy tickets/book hotels online as necessary.  Although, I spoke with my uncle about this trip yesterday and he suggested that the final grades for this group not be given until we see how the trip works out!  :)

The last day of school was a blast, thanks to Mrs. Montanez and the Spirit club planning the pep session!  The dance was great too, although most of you could tell from the end of school video that I'm not a dancer!  The last day of school is always my favorite and least favorite day.  It's something we've been anticipating all year, and we all need a break from each other.  However, the idea that I won't see a lot of these students on a daily basis makes it tough.

My wish is that this vacation project is one that students will remember throughout high school and hopefully throughout their lives.  For Mrs. Sellers and I, this has been a fabulous and fun project.  I know for students it was stressful, but hopefully you also found the fun in it.  I wish we could've picked all 8 trips because they all were good ideas.  However, remember that just because your trip didn't get picked as the winner doesn't mean we may not take your idea and use it over Fall break, Christmas break, or Spring break in the next couple of years!  Who knows...maybe Mrs. Sellers and I will call in sick an entire week and go on one of these vacations!  Mrs. Harris may not approve that!  :)

Wishing each of you a great Summer, and if you see me around Clinton this Summer, please stop me and say 'hi'.  That is truly one of the best parts of being a teacher in a small community!  KEEP WATCHING....we're only about 5 weeks away from departing!
