Clark Staff Summer Fun! by CAITLIN ELDREDGE https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf Our Clark staff found many ways to have fun this summer! We look forward to connecting with our Clark families soon! en-us 2020-07-16 19:54:46 UTC 2025-02-13 01:31:39 UTC hello@padlet.com Ms. Eldredge https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656338086 The Eldredge sisters each had a birthday! They had fun baking and decorating their cupcakes. Mom decorated the kitchen and let them watch way too much Disney+. ]]> 2020-07-16 20:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656338086 Ms. Coldiron https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656383940 Totally got secretly married! I’ll still be Coldiron for the year but my new last name is Brown. I got a super cool step son out of it so...I finally have someone who shares my humor. ]]> 2020-07-16 21:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656383940 Mrs. Clark https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656404936 We went to South Padre Island!]]> 2020-07-16 22:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656404936 Ms. Horn https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656427418 I sold my parents house in Tulsa, OK and spent the summer cleaning out and selling their estate.  My daughter Taylor graduated nursing school and is officially an RN working at Children’s Medical Center in the oncology unit.]]> 2020-07-16 23:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656427418 Ms. Carroll https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656431370 My summer has been about learning!  
 Finished two college classes for my counseling degree, the latest which was Abnormal Behavior that I absolutely loved (I’ll be secretly analyzing everyone!  LOL).  I participate in a weekly discussion group – Meaningful Conversations – as well as several book studies via Zoom, and teach a religious children’s class Saturday mornings.  I was kept from being depressed with this social isolation when my youngest daughter and grandchildren moved in with me (she lost her job).  Took a short trip to Colorado to connect the grandchildren and spend time with my middle daughter and ended up getting two new tattoos.

Got to drive back to Texas with my husband to deal with a burst pipe in our new house, so spent the rest of July remodeling. ]]> 2020-07-17 01:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656532388 Ms. Spikes abispikes20 https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656562273 I got engaged! We’re getting married on January 2, 2021! ]]> 2020-07-17 02:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656562273 Ms. Duffey https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656711789 We held a “private” ceremony for our daughter who completed graduate school in May, and then we took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed some much-needed family time before getting back to work!]]> 2020-07-17 06:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656711789 Mrs. Jefferson https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656866127 My 15 year old son, a sophomore at Wakeland, received his driver’s license learner permit this summer.  It was exciting and frightening teaching him to drive.  Honestly, I had my husband do the initial lessons because I was terrified.  It is not easy teaching a teenager who thinks he knows everything.  

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking with new recipes.  My mother used to make homemade ice cream every July 4th.  I made homemade ice cream on the 4th for the very first time.  It was yummy!!!!  

I am excited about the challenges the 2020-2021 school year will present. ]]> 2020-07-17 12:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656866127 https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/656934363 Mrs. Maricle

This summer we had two milestones to celebrate.  My son graduated from high school and he also turned 18 in mid June.  He had the honor to be part of the first graduating class from Lebanon Trail HS.
For his birthday we had fun playing a little game of patience. I gave him 18 small presents but he was only allowed to unwrap 1 every 18 minutes 😁.  Now  getting ready for college and reorganizing his room.]]> 2020-07-18 00:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/657245362 Ms. Schutz https://padlet.com/eldredgec/9oy2t7cw34mheopf/wish/657298909 I helped write curriculum, attended several virtual trainings, read a few books, completed a couple of puzzles, spent time with my family, walked many miles with Abby, and spent way too much money (had to replace on of my A/C units).
