We have several new teachers and quite a few new students. I have 3 new students in the 8th grade. Also annuals will be given out tomorrow...........I know the kids will love them. ALL COLOR....and paid for , cant beat that.
Everyone and everything is so positive this year, even the kids seem excited.

Our Grandmothers trip to the Smokie Mountains was great. The header pic is just one I took. The cabin we rented was great ..small but just enough room for us. There was a hot tub on the porch which gave us time to just relax. WE had rain each day but never bothered us and our plans.
Took a ride into Cades Cove the first afternoon. Saw lots of deer, turkey, and even saw bear. Yes we got to see a mother bear with her 3 cubs. YES 3 cubs. We took a riding trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Stopped at lots of local art shops, ate lunch in the old pigeon area, and tried to get out of Gatlinburg fast as we could.
The last day we went white water rafting. OH MY GOSH ....was that a blast. Something I have always wanted to do , now I can take that off my bucket list. You can bet I will do it again. We had a great guide. He let us surf in the rapids. This is a trick the guides do by putting the front of the raft down in a wave on a 4 rapid. It causes the front of the raft to go unseated and ride the wave. We did it 3 times.............oh what fun.
Ate dinner out our last night ......had trout. We all enjoyed that.
It was a blast..............looking forward to the next time.
