We were visited by a good-deed bringing leprechaun on Friday! He brought treats for the students with the promise that they would return the favor by doing a good deed for the staff at FAVE. We stepped up to the challenge and wrote kind notes to deliver all around the school along with a little sweet treat! Happy St. Patrick's Day! ShakespeareThe LINKS students from our class and Ms. Waugh's class put on a fantastic performance! They worked so hard on learning lines, making costumes, and practicing in order to deliver a stellar performance! Back from a website hiatus!Sorry guys! Due to some things beyond my control (and some things very within my control...) I have been slacking on our "happenings" page. This is SUCH a shame because we have been doing some AWESOME stuff! To make up for it, here is a picture of me on a regular Friday night. This one happened to be at the Tour DeCatur Expo last week (thanks Tammie Willis for the picture)!

Thanks to all the parents who came for Thanksgiving lunch - it was so delicious and I know the kids loved sharing this time with you! Our field trip to Hawk Hollow was today. This is such a cute public park SO close to FAVE! The wonderful people from the Wylde Center talked to us about invasive species and the effects one living thing can have on an entire ecosystem.
