We were in Harrisonburg, VA again this weekend for a few rather exciting events. On Friday night my school division hosted the first ever Harrisonburg Education Foundation Gala. It was a fundraising event for our school system and it was a wonderful success. There was a band, live and silent auction, food, drinks, and lots of dancing! Overall we raised a lot of money for the schools and it will be used to fund teacher requested grants for the next school year!
Also, my Masters graduation was on Sunday. Mom, Gregg, Greggy, Dad and Ann all came down to help Joe, Millie and I to celebrate this special day. It was a grueling road to finish this degree in the time that I did, but it was all worth it. I'm not sure that I'm a "Master" of anything, but I have certainly expanded my knowledge and confidence as a teacher. And if you ask me anything about the research of summer school, I would be glad to tell you all about it! :)
Now that I'm back "home' in PA, it is nice to do laundry and actually put the suitcase away. I have been back and forth for the last month that we have owned our new home but now I will be here to stay for awhile. My next visit to VA will be the last week of May to help my students celebrate the end of the school year. It is nice to settle in for a little and really work on making this a home. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will get Millie's room painted and get everything ready for her. She continues to be an active little girl and is starting to respond more to touch and voices/noises. We have our first visit with our new doctor on Wednesday, so hopefully it will be a good experience. (I loved the center I was going to in VA.)
Below are a few pictures from the weekend, but first is my favorite. Dad making sure that everyone knows Millie was at graduation with us!
