Week of Surprises

This past week has been an amazing one for me! I feel so honored to have received the following awards.

Coach of the Year. At our annual Sports Banquet I was honored for coaching the Varisty and Sophomore teams for both Volleyball and Basketball this year. It was a great opportunity for me and I loved every minute of it even if it was lots of practices and traveling. These girls are amazing! I got this nifty plaque for it.

Teacher of the Year. I was surprised with this award recieved today at Graduation, being honored for teaching 4 preps, being the department head, working on the accreditation committee, coaching volleyball and basketball, working on my Masters, planning a trip to Spain next summer for my students, being amazing, respected, and organized (as my fellow faculty members put it). My name will go on a plaque in the entrance at the school.

Wow! That's all I've got to say! Thank you so much everyone for your support this year! It has been one crazy year, but one crazy good year.

Thursday was the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our new school building. And I actually got to break ground! I held a fancy gold shovel and threw some dirt around. Unfortunately there were no more hard hats to wear, but it was great to be a part of it.

This morning was the last day of school. We had yearbook signing in the morning and a lovely graduation ceremony in the afternoon. I got the BYU Spanish department to donate a few books to give out as awards at graduation and I had the fortunate opportunity to present them myself.

So during yearbook signing the teachers were supposed to check off lockers of students and make sure they were clean. So this kid comes up to me and asks if I can check off his locker. So I follow him and he says it's number 208. I open it to take a gander inside and to my complete surprise and shock there's a student in there! He scared the crap out of me! Bahahahaha! Funny thing is he did the exact same thing to me last year! Oh boy, I love these kids. I'm going to miss them....
