Welcome new mini-mester students!

Count down to mini-mester..... Be sure to order your textbook and plan ahead for field placements at Kaufman Elementary. I will be in and out of my office this week so swing by and say hello and introduce yourself if you are on campus!

Just signed up kids for Church Camp this summer and Jacqueline is old enough to go to Preteen camp (Mt. Lebanon Camp in Dallas, Texas)  Wow! I can't believe it- Bobby and Christopher went there 6 years ago! Boys get an extra special trip this year and are going to Student Life Camp in Orange Beach, Alabama. I know they are going to have a blast but I am realizing how fast they are growing up!!

Special Olympics Regional Meet

Another successful Special Olympics event. Our SHCEC girls just always amaze me .....Great job girls :)

Crawfish Time!



The Crawfish Boil was a huge success as always! Kids had a blast and there was a ton of crawfish - I have to admit I stuck to the hotdogs though!



Astros Game

Kaufman Choir singing the National Anthem at the Astros Game- they did a fantastic job! It was such a suprise at the end of the game to see the fireworks show celebrating Cinco de Mayo :)

Bye Bye Fins :(

Very sad day at our house.... Jacquelines pet beta fish "Fins" died this afternoon (the second time he died, but last time I made it home first and replaced him with his twin-LOL).... Poor Jacqueline...cried for almost an hour..... Ugh! Broke my heart...Guess fish shopping is on tomorrows to do list!

Debate Banquet and Officer Installation: Bobby New VP of Debate Team :)

Bobby as new VP with the new Debate Pres!

Bobby and Kim

Drumline competition...Christopher

Change is good, but is changing a good thing good? Say a prayer for me .... made a lot of tough decisions the last few days and more keep coming at me. Thank you to my SUPER WONDERFUL FRIENDS for always being there to listen :)
