Rainey Valley PTA

In this blog post I give you, "Rainey Valley PTA", one of the most popular acts from all of the varietys shows that we did.  Enjoy!

So tonight really took me down memory lane.  To watch Rainey Valley PTA with Patsy, Dena, Jodee, Toni, and Debbie(I think) was just like seeing it all so many years ago that night in the Glenoma gym.  So much has changed since then but yet it still seems like only yesterday.  It is still so hard to believe that Jodee is gone and that very soon the school will be too. As I reflect on my anger and sadness about the school being destroyed, I do know in my heart that it is really only a physical place and that all of the memories can't be taken away.

Watching this video makes realize that the real loss was losing Jodee.  Just as watching Guitarzan last night brought back the hurt and sadness of the loss of Jamie.  My sadness can only be a drop in the bucket compared to the loss that their families feel everyday. The videos do bring a smile to my face as I watch them and realize how much impact both Jodee and Jamie had on my life and how blessed I was to know them.  Without my time spent at Glenoma Elementary, I would never have known either one or so many other wonderful friends or students that have come into my life during the last 33 years.  I feel so blessed to have been a small part of the Glenoma Elementary "family."  May our memories live on forever.
