Enjoy All of Your Moments
My week started with a greeting by a beautiful deer just as I drove onto campus Monday, he was standing by the paper box until I spooked him. Also on Monday, our new administrative assistant came on board. Jennifer Slaker now answers the phone when you call the school's main number and we are excited to have her here finally. There have been Volleyball and Soccer games almost each day this week, and today has been the International Appreciation Day in the Upper School.
By the time you read this Newsletter I will have spent a fabulous night in Orlando and be on a cruise ship that leaves Port Canaveral, heading into the Atlantic Ocean, bound for Nassau. I will probably be wearing my sparkly, purple mouse ears as we set sail (at least until the headband pinches my head). We are sailing with the Mouse, yes 12 adults, no children - with the Mouse. I plan to enjoy the beautiful scenery, blue waters and friendship. I hope you take advantage of whatever scenery you come upon this weekend, and enjoy all of your moments with friends and family. Enjoy your weekend!
