Well, we are all back at our homes safe and sound.  We are all exhausted and worn out but, we also agreed we will never experience anything like that again in our lives.  It is one we will truly never forget.

Over the next few weeks I will continue to post images and blogs about some of the different places we visited and the many activities we enjoyed.  Between the four of us we have thousands of images and memories we want to sort through and organize.  Please check back.  Our trip may be over, but the blog will go on

Hopefully now the Communications Project between the AVID 6th grade students at KMS and the Year 8 students at Priory will develop, grow and expand.  The possibilities are endless!  We have so much to share and learn from each other.  The students are already communicating with each other.  It is awesome!  Long range plans hope to have an exchange of students between the two schools.  A target date of 2010 has been set.  By then, this group of students will have been communicating for at least 2 years and hopefully have developed lasting friendships.

As a side note, Frog (as she affectionately became called) had a ribbeting time.  “Frogs journey to Holywood” may just be turned into a creative writing lesson for our students to do.  Hey, it may even become a published book to help raise money for the student exchange to happen.  You just never know….especially when you are dealing with the “Luck of the Irish!”
