Orange you glad that we are almost done with purple? I'm not so much done as I would like, but I am still looking forward to digging into orange on Monday. So I wasn't an academic team coach this year, but somehow they needed a female chaperone at the last minute and I got pulled in. The team ended up finishing second in the state for division 1 with one of the members being named to Team Florida. The competitions have always been at Disney in the past with the kids spending time between matches at the parks. Florida has a thing about Disney now so we had to switch the dates and venue. Just when you think it can't get stranger. The kids had fun at the resort though, they played mini golf and splashed in the pools. The end of the school year is coming on fast! Senior breakfast was yesterday, AP testing starts on Monday and graduation will be here before we can imagine.
I hope to dig a bit deeper into the purple today. It has been strangely stormy all week so I think I will get out for a walk early today. Kurt is working on some built in shelves in my sewing space and some of the kids will be home for the summer in the next couple of weeks.

I always enjoy reading your snippets of life in education! This is definitely a busy time of year for you. Wishing you a little sewing time this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSchool cannot end soon enough, that's for sure. We're all exhausted. Perhaps orange will raise our spirits? :) Have a good and restful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou have a crzy busy dash to the end of the school year!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a blast!!! and Orange... alright!! I ill have to search for orange plaid in my stash haha!
Congrats on the Academic Teams outstanding placement at the competition. So sad that there is that “thing” the governor and his bunch have going with Disney. I mean, really? Thanks for all you do for the young people in your district and beyond. You’ll be busy again, with some of the young ones home. I’m glad to see Orange as the new color!
ReplyDeleteFun scrappy PURPLE blocks, Angela! Congrats to the team, but sorry that you lost a weekend to chaperone the event. Even though I'm not done with April's scrap adventure, I'm excited to see what will happen with ORANGE next month!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your school's team! Sorry about politics interfering in the kids' fun, sounds like they made the best of it. Thanks for the heads up about orange. I can hardly wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the #2 ranking. At least the kids still had fun (and I’m hoping you did too!). DeSantis should know better than to mess with The Mouse. Have fun with your scraps this weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeing in education myself, I know how busy the end of the year gets! Congratulations to the Academic Team! Looking forward to Orange!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the team! Wow - I did not realize they had to move the venue because of our current governor's temper tantrum. I keep hearing snippets from the kids on 'the teacher said he can't mention this subject' etc. Arrggh. I am happy to hear that our HS has required reading of a book over the summer that someone has banned in the state. =). I always tell the kids, read the books people want to ban. I really hope the current system gets overturned quickly and reason, learning and acceptance of differences come back.
