We, Are the Champions

Awesome job boys and girls on the 7th/8th grade basketball team! They won the championship in Gladwin, just barely beating St. Joseph Gold 23-21 (a very hair rasing game), and St. Michael's 44-34. It was truly a team effort, and it was certainly a way to end my final year on the St. E's basketball team. Congrats again!

Seasonal Fun!

What a wonderful party we had yesterday. The food was excellent, the scavenger hunt was awesome, and the white elephant gift exchange was great! And the 5/6 revenge was pretty comical too albeit smelly. They better watch out!

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts. I am certainly one spoiled teacher and I love you all! I hope everyone had a very special holiday season. I know it will be one I hold dear in my memories. Now on to a Superfine & Divine 2009!

Thanks to Tyler and Co. for another great photography job. I think you captured the action quite nicely.
