Pony Express

This post is a shout out to all my Pony friends. On Halloween we visited the Pony and it was so nice to go there!! The school is different because there are so many new teachers and new students, but it still has the same feel. I love the building, the smells, and the drive there. I didn't like the drive the five years I made it, but loved it this trip.

When we walked into the school the hall music made me laugh and cry at the same time. Thanks to all the Pony girls for being such great people and for making Pony Express a great place with so many memories. I know it is a special place and will always be a good school. I am proud to say I was a faculty member of Pony Express.

For all you Pony Express "old timers" like me, it was so good to see you and I miss you!!


My old classroom. My curtains are still up!!







Christiana outside my door. I disciplined many a student outside of this door. I was reminding Christiana of this and she took it all in!!!!

I wasn't at Pony Express as long as you were, but I miss it probably just as much! It WAS a wonderful school. I would love to go back and visit, I just worry it'll make me too sad that I'm not there anymore!

A big part of why I miss that school though was you! It was so fun teaching there when you considered the other teachers to all be your best friends. I miss you!!

I miss you, too. We've seen so many new faces over the past 6 years. There are very few of us left from that first year! Thanks for coming to see us. Zach loved seeing you, too.

Ah...maybe one day I will get to look back on my days as a teacher - it's a long time coming though!

I miss Pony Express too. I had to take a double take on that first picture. It says my name on it. Okay, so it's a new teacher that just so happens to have my maiden name. Oh, the memories we all have in that place. I too feel very, very lucky to have worked there.

P.S.Christina looks so cute, and she is getting so big.

I may have only been there for one year. But that year was the best year of teaching in my life. I learned so much from being there with all you lovely gals! I miss the school and all the friends I made!! It trully was the best!! I love the idea of a Pony reunion! PS. Heidi it was so great seeing you at breakfast!! Lets do it again!

I still can't believe you worked right down the street from my house and I never saw you. I loved living in the Ranches! I know what you mean by the drive. That's one of the reasons why we moved. It just got to be too much for Brad. Great place, though!

We sure had a good time didn't we? I miss all of you so much and wish I could go back somedays! We need to all get together soon!
