We’ve have had a fantastic off-season at work. I’ve been busy teaching 4th Grade in Great Neck, while J.J. has been teaching 5th Grade in Valley Stream.
While being in the classroom is always fun and challenging, we can’t wait to be out on the fields and down at the lake. There’s really nothing as rewarding as seeing a child beam with confidence when he scores a goal or learns how to kayak for the first time.
We’ve also been having a blast at home. We’re officially a skiing family! Both kids did a great job this winter with trips to the Poconos and the Catskills. Perhaps next year J.J. will finally get to return to Colorado. A major highlight for us this year was our first family trip to Disney World! We soaked up all the fun and excitement the parks had to offer and truly had a blast!
It was so great to see everyone at the reunion in January. It brought back so many fond memories we shared with the Juniors of 2010. We miss the little moments like fishing with a milk crate at the swim docks. When J.J. heard that the circus arts will be coming to Starlight this summer, the juggling clubs came out of the attic. After brushing off a little dust and polishing them up a bit, he has been practicing in overtime so he can show off his skills at camp this summer! Be on the look out for the one, the only AMAZING JUGGLING DIVISION LEADER…coming to Starlight June 2011!
