West Hancock Elementary

Well, today we went to tour the new school. We have been waiting and waiting to move into this BEAUTIFUL building and we finally got to see it and let me tell you....it is unbelieveable!! I have attatched some pictures of our new building. Man! November can't get here fast enough!!! My classroom is going to be huge and state of the art!!!! I am so pumped!!


First, is the gym. It is top notch!!
Then the cafeteria. I love how colorful it is!!

Devastation Pictures from Hurricane Katrina

Pictures of property in Pass Christian, Ms that were damaged during Hurricane Katrina. This is the city where the eye wall of Hurricane Katrina passed over. One of my coworkers lives in this town and gave me a tour and this is only a few pictures of what is STILL left over from the storm. Many people are still living in FEMA trailers or cottages. No one ever talks about how Mississippi got damaged from Katrina. All you hear about is New Orleans. It was a real eye opener. Many of my students have suffered mentally from Katrina. It is sad!







The only thing left from this home was the steps. They call them the "steps to nowhere"

Hello again...


It's been along time since we posted our last blog. Yes, we are still alive after all the hurricanes and we didn't have any damage. Thank God. I sometimes ask the Lord why he moved us to hurricane alley!! But I have to just trust Him.


Anyway, I am counting down the days until my birthday because mama and daddy are coming to visit the weekend before and The Graham's are coming to visit the weekend after. It can't get any better than that!!


Hope everyone is doing well!

Love ya'll

Holly
