I love this time of year! October signals the beginning of
Fall and the holiday season. It is also recognized as “Breast Cancer Awareness
Month,” and I encourage each of you to take time to get your yearly mammogram
and take care of yourself so you can continue taking care of others.
It’s been a
while since my last post. I have been busy trying to keep up with the season.
With football games, church dinners and youth outings, school in full swing and
a freshman in college, and an 18 month-old grandson, I have been overwhelmed
with busy!
At the end
of September, I had the pleasure of helping with the “Cancer Sucks Softball and
Cornhole Tournament”. This is an annual event, now in it’s fourth year, and I
have been blessed to help with concessions each year. This year’s event raised
a total of $15,957! Which meant each recipient received a total of $2400 toward
medical expenses. Graham County is so blessed to have a group of young men and
women that want to help those that are struggling with this terrible disease
and the hardships it causes their families. What a great place to live!
RMS Field Trip!!!!
Fall is an amazing time to take our seventh graders to the
Hooper Bald! At an elevation of 5,429, this grassy mound is a perfect field
trip. It is hard to believe that many of our students have never been to the
Bald and experienced the beauty of our county. With the leaves changing colors
and the cooler temperature, it is one of the best memories we make with our
students all year!
We load the yellow school buses and head out
with our jackets, gloves, blankets and picnic lunches. The drive takes about 45
minutes to arrive at the parking area and then we hike up the side of the
mountain to the top. The temperature in Robbinsville was around 45 degrees
which means the temperature on the Bald is probably 20 degrees colder (Do the
math lol). It was COLD! But it was an amazing day…until the rain came!!!!
