Well, I'm embarrassed. One of the last things I told Jack--before we left us a week early to move to Arizona--was that I would put a post up for his birthday. That was last Tuesday, May 27. Profoundest apologies, Jack! I guess not having you there to remind me during "Happy News" has caused my feeble mind to slip once again.
Jack is a keen observer of oddities of everyday life. He would often come to me and say, "Mr. Carter, you know what's weird?" And anytime he made an observation like that, he was right. During the last week of school, we definitely missed his dry wit and his hockey flow.
Hopefully he peeks in at this blog at some point after being snubbed on the 27th. Hope you are having a dry, hot summer down there, Jack.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Carter! We actually had a do-over birthday just yesterday because Jack's birthday was such a crazy "no fun" day around here! (His word's, not mine!) We went to the water park and had dinner at Big Earl's Greasy Eat's. To top it off, we found out that Jack is the newest member of the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes AA hockey team. So overall, it was a pretty great day! Thanks again for a great year, you will surely be missed by Jack and all of your students!

Mr. Carter, you are a righteous dude! Any teacher who has the kids sing to a hair band every Friday and takes this much time to appreciate all these kids is a real gift them all! Loved the end of the year video and the special notes to my Jack.

Yes! So glad you didn't give up on me.
Congratulations to Jack for your new status as a Phoenix Jr. Coyote! Think of us Hoosiers as you make your first slap shot (okay, that's my trying to talk hockey...I'm pretty sure a slap shot is a good thing, but my knowledge of hockey begins and ends at Strange Brew).
