School Starts Again

Sorry for my absence during July, but is has been a seriously crazy month with LOTS going on. Of course, that all culminated for all of us with a week of furloughs. For me, I went to the Sierra’s for a backpacking trip – the room rent is cheap, you know.

We were able to have a great trip, but with LOTS of snow and serious water crossings that are unlike what is “normal” for this time of year – but we were all fine and enjoyed the entire week. We exited short of our goal and therefore needed to figure out how to get back to our car, etc. Fortunately, we were saved by our trail angel, Joe, who gave us a ride back to our car. We met Joe on Glen Pass (11,987’) and traveled with him for a day. He was a great young man from Orange County, with whom we enjoyed visiting and chatting.

So what did you do during the furlough time?

Getting back to reality, school starts for students on Monday, August 29th – which is not far away. At the same time there is LOTS going on in Sacramento and locally. It will be a good year, as we have the opportunity to assist our students with their learning and maturation.
