Homecoming week at DHS

My favorite football players, and twins. #9, #29, and the light skinned kid in the back were all my students last year. I love them so much. If you want to know more about them go to my personal blog. I wrote all about how they left the gang life to pursue college. Love them.


Mr and Mrs. Football. Instead of voting on the "most popular" twenty kids in school, each organization nominates a couple of candidates and then they vote on the candidates - which must have a 2.0 and never have been suspended. Anyway, I love Coco. The girl in this picture. I had her for about two weeks at the beginning of the year but every time I see her she tells me how much she misses me and gives me a big hug. Curtis, the star football player, is her boyfriend. So I was glad they got to be Mr. and Mrs. Football together.






















The Volleyball team decorating my car for the Homecoming parade. Cassie (the girl with the crown -Miss Pre-Engineering) is ADORABLE! She's our little cheerleader. If I ever take her out of the game the whole morale just drops. The girls in the middle picture are my favorites. They are the best students at school and just SO SO nice. Anyway, to decorate, I let them put Oreo's on the back of my car, it says C-Tide. Then I gave them washable markers and they wrote their names and #s all over my car. Of course we had a corner dedicated to Mek Mek. We miss her.

Ben's going to the game with me tonight. But he shot me down when I asked if he wanted to chaperone at the dance. To be honest, I want to go more out of curiosity than anything else. I would love to see them dance, cause lets face it. They can dance. Today at the pep assembly they had a dance contest and I about died. It is so amazing to watch them. And they have no inhibitions. Kids 100 lbs overweight were getting down! I would have never.

I love my job. I love the school. And mostly, I love the kids. They make it worth it.

I think you are one of the best things that has happened to those kids, they are really lucky to have you Liz. Congrats on winning the volleyball game! I hope you guys win the football game too!

That's so cool. But won't writing on the car itself (not the windows) leave a mark? I'm just saying...
