A very special Pi Day. Once in a century. Tomorrow, 3.14.15 is it. Get ready!

There were numbers posted all around the hallways on the 800 level to who-knows-what place…..some cool art which I didn’t get to photograph yet.

Eat'n Park Pi Day Cookies

And my neighbor across the hall…. I went in this morning and said “Hey, where’s your Pi shirt?” and then she turned around and showed me!

pies

In the cafeteria there was a game where students could win a slice of pie. (Similar to a Cake Walk)

Posting this one so you can see how you had to land on a certain number when the music stopped to win a slice of pie.

A different shirt worn by one of my photography students.Everyone was getting in on the festivities.

Absent Friends

Throwback Thursday. This tiny China box was a gift from a friend in 1981.

Inside I have some old earrings and my HS class ring from 1970.

Don’t open it often but did today.

Our mascot was Mr.Colonial

Absent Friends Not Forgotten

Found my high school ring in this little ceramic box today. Not that I was looking for it. There were parts of earrings from yesteryear, too.
June’s fiftieth reunion will require rescheduling. I’m sure.

Mac ‘n Berries by Lexi V.

Mac ‘n Berries by Lexi V.

I saw it in on a shelf in the glass door built-in cupboards this morning. Finally putting away some special dishes the grandkids had used their last visit.

The Mac ‘n Berries tag on the bottom reminded me of the creator Lexi V.

I bought it from a former photography class student who took ceramics as well.

So I set a place for it on the dining room table, took a picture and cheered myself.

Made an art project out of the Mini-Mes found in drawer

Completing the gradebook, returning materials, getting signatures that I’ve accomplished the required tasks.

My remaining time at school growing shorter by the minute.

Still things to be done, so why not take a break and create something?
I glued all the “students” in the lid of a copy paper box. Well, not all of them but as many of the seniors who graduated last Sunday.

What might look like leftover stuff to others became a wonderful memory to me.

Thanks for the memories.

Bounce House

Community Day 2015 in the High School Gym. The kids love the Bounce House.

Trying to capture the action shot.

The freezing of movement. A gesture.

Motion in a still frame.
