Good Afternoon,
  I hope this finds all of you starting to prep for a relaxing weekend or at least making some time to relax for a moment.  You all are working extremely hard and trying to manage work, family, schooling, and sanity.  I truly appreciate all of your efforts.  Keep up the great work and take a moment to tap yourself on the back every now and then.

  I wanted to thank all of you for the wonderful and thoughtful messages and/or cards that I received last week.  I am fortunate to teach in this town and I am truly appreciative of the support I get, as a teacher.  Again, thank you for the gesture and the thoughtfulness.

 Today we listened to Oprah Winfrey read us the story, The Hula-Hoopin' Queen by Thelma Godin.  "Kameeka is confident that today she will finally beat her rival, Jamara, and become the Hula-Hoopin’ Queen of 139th Street. But then Mama reminds her that today is their neighbor Miz Adeline’s birthday, and Kameeka has a ton of chores to do to get ready for the party they are hosting. Kameeka’s disappointed to be stuck at home and can only think about the hoopin’ competition. Distracted, Kameeka accidentally ruins Miz Adeline’s birthday cake, and has to confess to her that there won’t be a cake for her special day. But then Miz Adeline’s confesses something too: she’s also got the itch—the hula-hoopin’ itch! Her fingers start snappin’. Her hips start swingin’. Soon everyone’s hips are swinging as the party spills out onto the street. The whole neighborhood’s got the itch—the hula-hoopin’ itch!"
