We held our second DIP Expo Thursday, May 21st, from 5:30-7:00 in the volleyball gym. Students, teachers, parents, and community members enjoyed looking at the projects from second semester.

Pride Day 2009

The Third Annual Pride Day was a huge success. Students had a blast playing their favorite games in the stadium and showing off their amazing talents in Andy Idol that afternoon.


Preparation Notes:
Signing up went smoothly this year. Students picked four events with a limit of two tournaments. The same students could not play wiffle ball and kickball. Some students thought there were too many conflicts with the schedule, but if all members of the class signed up for four things, it worked well. We added some new events, as well. Getting someone to type the sign-up sheets helped me out a lot. Next year, I need to recruit someone to type, copy, and prepare clipboards.

Andy Idol: We held auditions/practice the day before due to chorus practice. That worked out fine although it would be nice to have auditions on Tues. or Wed., which would allow students more time to polish their acts

I'm loving my new Macbook. I can't wait until Maria and I are really standing in front of the Eiffel Tower this summer.

Riverview from The Renaissance

Weekend in Montgomery

<



John and I had a wonderful weekend in Montgomery. We arrived Friday evening around 6:00 p.m. After checking in at The Renaissance, we walked over to the old depot and ate at a Thai restaurant. We enjoyed the rest of the evening, sitting outside, enjoying the live music being performed at The Exchange.

Saturday morning we took a long walk, including Dexter Avenue. I never tire of looking at downtown Montgomery and the historical sites. Of course, we went to The Shoppes for a few hours. John was sweet and patient as I looked for some fun dresses to buy for Europe.

The Renaissance has a fabulous pool on top of the roof! After relaxing, we again sat outside and enjoyed live music. Sunday morning we stopped by the coffee bar and went outside, again. We walked around the Riverwalk. After lunch at Dreamland, I had to leave. I was sad to say goodbye to John, but I was ready to see my three boys.

If you haven't been to the Riverwalk area lately, you are in for a treat.
