This Week

In the community I teach in we have something called Spud Day. The whole week is dedicated to the potato. There is a parade about potatoes, and booths for potatoes and we have a spud tug. They take a big cement truck and mix mashed potatoes in the truck then they dump them in a pit and they have a tug a war over the pit of mashed potatoes. I will have to take pictures of everything for you after tomorrows events. During the week we have the high school pageant called Miss Russet. This year I had three students in it, one of my students one and I was so excited. She deserved it more than any one else. I also have a student that was first runner up and she doesn't really like me but they announced that her favorite class is show choir. Confusing? I now have a nick name at the school. All the teachers will start laughing and call me teacher of the year or "so and so's T.O.Y."
I am so excited for this week to be over. I am so sick of potatoes. Our float will be one of the coolest floats ever. I will defiently be taking pictures, and pictures of our choir shirts. You will love them they are so nerdy.

Hi Elise! I check your blog every so often. I check Amber's too but when I attempted to comment it told me her blog was limited to "team members." So I wasn't able to comment (this is my way of attempting to tell her 'hey, I wanna comment!') Anyway, I want to see the spud pics and the nerdy choir shirts. And I really want to see that pit of mashed potatoes (and the people who landed in it)!
