Last night, I was talked into chaperoning Freeman's Winter Formal. I actually have a lot of fun at the dances. Our students are pretty good, and it's nice to see them out of their element. My friend Matt, who is home for a bit from South Africa, agreed to join me on the adventure, so we made an evening of it (and confused a bunch of my students)! Katie, Matt and I went down to Raw for Sushi and had a lovely visit. Then we left Katie, and headed out to the elementary school which was the site of our dance since we are currently HS-less.
The kids were so fun, and Matt and I had fun watching them, with our fellow chaperones, and getting our dance on. So glad that he could come with me! For the record before you all get too excited, Matt is one of my best friends, but only that. This lucky fellow met an amazing girl while in SA, that he will hopefully be reunited with soon (school and jobs providing). Funny though to watch my students try and figure out who the stranger-danger was cause I never bring dates to anything. One of my tennis girls actually cornered me at one point to find out. So funny! Here's a picture of the seniors posing for a class pic. They look like such nice youngsters, all dressed to the nines.
