Got my first paycheck in two months today! Still not sure how many years of experience they'll allow me to bring into the system... 27 would put me at the top of the pay-scale; I have 30 (16 as a teacher/14 in administration)... must still be waiting for docs to come back from Gainesville, Managua and Asheville; check #1 had me at the bottom of the pay-scale!

Sat-Sun, August 21-22
Kara spent the day with her dad Saturday (the photo was taken at the Orange Park Mall)... We joined Grace and her sons for worship at Chets Creek this morning (Kara and Grace pictured in the lobby)...
Mark Smith led the college life group this morning... he and Kara were in the nursery together at the church where both Grace's and my family were members (in Gainesville) in the mid-80's!

End of Week One
GREAT first week!... after 14 years in the principal's office, I have affirmed my appreciation for the job done by classroom teachers... it is one extremely demanding ministry! Here's a peek at the lunchroom during my shift... the fourth of five!
Kara had a little bout of toncilitis and has been in Gainesville visiting her grandparents; she'll be up tomorrow, stay through church and lunch Sunday!
Tim has had a great week of three-a-days with the UNCA soccer team... says he's ready for classes to start though so that coach will ease up on them a little.

First Day of School
I'm a "floater"... meaning that I teach my five classes in five different classrooms! Florida has instituted a cap of 25 students for any given classroom... mine are all capped out!
Here's a look at half of my first period class on day one:
...and half of fifth period, which meets for 25 minutes, breaks for lunch, and meets for another 25 every day...
The school was designed for 1,500 kids, and has required "portables" since day one; current enrollment 2,100+
