June 4th, 2009: Inaugural Commencement Exercises: Class of 2009 North Forest High School

Coach Hrncir found out Thursday morning that she was suppose to be on the stage at graduation as Teacher of the Year. Dr. Barlett, 08-09 Teacher of Year, loaned me a black gown and I ran to the store for a pair of black heels. Connie & Sara helped me get checked out and got me organized. I did get checked out before graduation.

Ariel Brown, 4 year tennis player and senior class president, was the Mistress of ceremony-- I was so proud. Joshua Fleming and Tim Edwards-- top two senior guys with me for 4 years-- also marched. Proud of my seniors and it was such a good feeling to be on the stage.

Our Guest Speaker was U.S. Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee--18th Congressional District of Texas. She was outstanding in her presentation. She involved the students, they are number one and they are the first NFHS Class--we survived combining schools and IKE--we can survive anything that life has to offer.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE ADVENTURE & WAS SO PROUD OF MY SCHOOL AND DISTRICT.
Shelia Jackson held my hand and thanked me for teaching our children.

To top that off, our daughter, Dawn, works for GSA on the 16th floor and wanted me to tell her that her staff was very nice.

This is a small world-- and it takes a village.

Son from the marines is home for two weeks and we are taking a brief vacation to Seaworld.
Summer Swimming classes start at Klein High this year on June 15th. My 14th year-- the time does fly.

Tennis players, keep me up on your adventures this summer. You have my numbers and e mail.
Be Safe.
