Mountains and turkeys and holiday breaks -- oh my! 

'Twas three days 'fore T-mas, and all through the bus

every student was stirring, conducting a fuss.

The promise of woods, perhaps of some deer

along with strange weather, so cold and severe

had the students all guessing at what was to come:

ziplines and archery, maybe even snow - what fun!

....

And as they sat staring out windows all foggy

many an eyelid went droopy, their brains gone groggy

the students reminisced on activities concluded

and pondered ahead towards a holiday alluded.

Three days from parents, their beds, and loved ones;

three days of memories and joy by the tons.

Happy Pali to all, and to all a Pali Night!

We had a blast at Pali Camp! Hope y'all had a restful respite removed from your beloved offspring. What a wonderful group of students we've in fifth grade this year! Additionally, I hope that y'all had a great Fall Break! (How is Winter Break is so nigh?)
