A day in the life

Forcing an unmotivated kid to do school, helping a struggling learner, keeping track of a kid whose a great learner but can fly under the radar unnoticed if I'm not careful, keeping a quiet non-squeaky wheel in my sights no matter how loud the other ones squeak - whew - some days remind me that no matter how long I've been at this job, it's still heck-of-a-lot of hard work!!

Kate's 17th B-day

Happy 17th birthday, Katie in San Jose.  She had a plate of watermelon with a candle since she's gluten & dairy free.
