Coincident Cupcake?

Friday after school, a student stopped by my classroom to submit some assignments. He gave me one of his birthday cupcakes. It's also the end of a grading period. Coincidence?

Gift from My Parents

My father, who recently retired, took my mom to Asia for a long and well deserved vacation.  They brought back this magnet for me.  It resembles the traditional street signs in Hong Kong.  "No. 1" means "number one" in Hong Kong's British English.  While I'm no "number one" teacher, it's reassuring that my parents know what I do as a profession.

More GHS T-Shirt

On a Friday, I bought my two helpful T.A.'s breakfast. They have been awesome all year, saving me many hours of work. At lunch, they came back and gave me this cool shirt - adding to my GHS shirt collection. Thanks Joe and Moises.

Lets Get Together

I just had dinner with my former high school badminton coach on Wednesday night of our spring break.  On Thursday night, the roles was reversed.  My former students and badminton players invited me to dinner.  It's such an honor.  All of these students are now attending college.  I had a great time.  Thanks Valerie, Itzel, Jocelyn, Kalene, Elida, and Tony (who set up the invite) for adding to my spring break fun.  My belly still hurts from eating and laughing so much.

GHS Dance Team

I'm a proud supporter of our awarding-winning GHS Dance Team. Just a group of kind, creative, and energetic kids who do what they love, and love what they do. They often steal the show at our school rallies.
