School is finally winding down. 2 weeks left and then it is SUMMER!!! These strawberries were planted 2 years ago and have taken over one of my flower beds, but they are giving me some good fruit, even though I have ignored the plant.

Maestro was ready to have a strawberry! He was following me around the entire backyard until I finally gave him one.

On Saturday I took 51 of my 8th graders to HersheyPark for a music competition. My two groups won 1st and 2nd place in their categories, as well as the Espirit de Corps award (citizenship)! Some of my kids got this stuffed animal for me for my room. They named her Shay. Nathan and I  have an extra ticket, so we will get to go back this summer when we don’t have to worry about children!

I am officially done with all concerts for this year, and now we are just trying to keep the kids engaged and still learning until the end of the year!

Here is all of us music teachers riding the log flume ride. I am the one screaming and holding on for dear life at the drop.

Talkee, Lily, and Maestro are enjoying the nice weather. Frequently the cats will accidentally get locked outside because I don’t notice they are out there, but they don’t seem to mind. They just sunbathe! I can’t wait until summer until I can spend more time enjoying my deck.
