Today was Era Day at school. The staff and students were encouraged to dress up as a person from another era in history. I thought it would be fun to dress as a pilgrim since Thanksgiving is right around the corner. My outfit was a real big hit, of course. I had a good time…
I know high school is full of all kinds of activity groups. I wonder if you have a Christian Club? Might be some nice people to hang out with. I wasn’t as involved in clubs as I wish I had been in school. I was in Drama Club of course. And I was in Key…
I’m sorry I’m posting so late.I have a student called Jadie. Jadie is a wonderful artist. She drew this picture for me Jadie is an angel of a girl and I dedicate this song to her and to you, my sweet sisters. “Calling All Angels” is sung by the musical group, Train. And your beloved cosmic…

In an effort to keep the information on the website interesting, I thought it might be cool to start a series of posts about spirituality. These posts are not about Judaism or Christianity.

Teaching PE can be a lot of fun! I’ve been teaching my students salsa dancing. Didn’t know your big sister could do that huh? Yeah, I used to go down to this club in Riverside and dance on Thursday nights. It was a lot of fun because there were so many fellas to dance with….
