I'm sure I have mentioned before what a huge event Halloween is at our school. Dance competitions, costume prizes, dunk tanks, food, animals......

We had perfect weather this year. There wasn't an ounce of humidity in the air (Ok, so that isn't possible in Bolivia but there wasn't the normal amount for sure) a light breeze was keeping us cool and overall it was a pleasant night. Much to my 7th graders disappointment, the 8th graders won the middle school dance. It was fun to see the kids dancing and performing on stage. Some of them are real naturals, others simply try so hard it is a kick to watch.

The National Junior Honor Society, the club I sponsor, was suppose to have a big fundraiser. We arranged to have a boa constrictor from the zoo come to the event. We spent last Saturday paining a jungle scene and for 10b's ($1.50) you could have your picture taken with the boa. Sounds fun, right?? Well, the snake never made it to the party. We aren't sure why, could be the flaky zoo guy or could be one of my flaky students. I need to get to the bottom of it. We were all very disappointed that the snake didn't come. It would have been a hit for sure. Oh well, maybe next year.

Speaking of next year. I have no idea where I will be. Tracey and I are waiting to hear about available positions at my school. My director has said that if a position opens it will be Traceys for sure. We just need an opening. Hopefully we will find out in a few weeks.
