Hello Everyone!
The start of my summer journeys began right after MB
graduation! After seeing the
lovely Class of 2012 receive their diplomas, I raced off to The Hole in the
Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, CT. It
was a whirl-wind week full of fun, inspiration and energy. As always, it was a rewarding and
exhausting time! I was a member of the Yellow Unit (my favorite color!) and was
happy to meet our unit leader, Pendo.
He is from Ireland and was a counselor at Barretstown Camp (the one I am
going to) for the past six years!
Needless to say, I peppered him with questions throughout the week and
left with a list of people I needed to hug for him and some very American items
that the Barretstown camp counselors might enjoy (they don’t have Twizzlers,
Twinkies or Swedish Fish in Ireland!!)

| Our H.O.P. Donations |
While at camp, I delivered our donations of art supplies to
the Hospital Outreach Program (H.O.P.)building. All the Outreach Specialists were out at the hospitals when
I stopped by, but I left a note (see picture)! I later spoke with the H.O.P. director and she was so
appreciative of all the thoughtful, fun and creative supplies you collected for
the children to use in the hospitals. Well done, first grade!

| My traveling companion...who is nameless...please help! |
In other news, I have recently acquired a traveling
companion for my trip to Europe.
Chosen by a vote during the last few days of school, I will be traveling
with a little duck (similar to the Duck from the Dodsworth books we read….)
However, my new friend needs a name.
I am open to suggestions so…post or email me (misskaty12@hotmail.com) your ideas!
Hope everyone is enjoying summer!
