I’ve moved! Although I will always be a Norseman at heart, I am now a Cougar at Ventura High School (1/2 hour south of Santa Barbara). I would love to hear from you. Visit my new website at http://jonesventura.wordpress.com and leave me a message (go to About Mrs. Jones and click on Comments). What have you been up to?

I can hardly believe it is almost time to return to the halls of Valhalla. Time surely does fly when you are having fun… or relaxing under a palm tree… or just dreaming about it!

I hope you all have had a relaxing break from school. I know I have! I enjoyed a summer playing with my son Micah who is now 6 months old, vacationing in Maui ( I did the palm tree thing! ), and spending time in Huntington Beach. I even became an aunt again to baby girl Sadie!

If you are browsing around, I’d love to hear a bit about your summer. Leave a comment by clicking on the comment link below so we can catch up and your classmates can hear what you’ve been up to as well!

See you around VHS soon!
