Where in the World is Miss Nace?
Indiana? Spain?? Colorado???
Miss Nace had a very busy summer but it was not in any of these locations. The majority of her summer was spent prepping for the BEST DAY EVER, her wedding day! In August Miss Nace became Mrs. Setzler. Congratulations!!
Mrs. Setzler and her family did get to enjoy each other's company and partake in some other adventures besides their wedding day. Some adventures included Golden Pond, Zoo America and Avalon, New Jersey.
Mrs. Setzler is ready and excited to start the 2022/2023 school year. She is looking forward to the first day of school!!!
Thank you all for taking the time to view our summer showcases this summer. Now we are all excited to kick off the new school year and see what things will come our way.
Where in the World is Ms. Straub?
Kentucky? South America?? New Mexico???
Ms. Straub actually spent her summer enjoying time with family and friends and the family dog, Millie. When Ms. Straub wasn’t working; she was enjoying weekend trips here and there. One weekend trip took place in Cross Forks, Potter County. While there she enjoyed the annual rattlesnake hunt. Although she did not hunt rattlesnakes, she did help educate children on snake safety and how to handle snakes. Ms. Straub admires the beautiful creatures and can be caught handling them.
Another weekend trip included taking the drive south to visit her brother and his family. Ms. Straub loves spending time with her 21 month old nephew, Dominic.
When not taking weekend trips, Ms. Straub was found attending the local dirt race tracks. She is normally the one behind the camera taking lots of pictures of the race cars. You can also find her working on a sprint car. Go #9!
The summer showcases are winding down. Check back Friday for our last Where in the World!
Where in the World is Mrs. Spriggle?
Jamaica? Hawaii?? Bora Bora???
She wishes she spent her summer in these beach locations. Instead Mrs. Spriggle enjoyed the view from the East Juniata High School office. What a beautiful view it is!
Mrs. Spriggle and her family did enjoy some day trips. Not that long ago, they met family at the Washington D.C. zoo and enjoyed the day with her nephews and other family members. Most of Mrs. Spriggle’s summer was spent preparing to send her youngest daughter off to college right outside of King of Prussia and her oldest daughter to HACC. In her free time, Mrs. Spriggle enjoys everything softball; watching softball on tv and in-person and she especially enjoys coaching it!
We only have a few more summer showcases to share with everyone as the summer is coming to an end. Check back tomorrow for more Where in the World!
Where in the World are The Cook’s?
Texas? Argentina?? Oregon???
The Cook’s were actually enjoying Clayton, New York. They have a cabin in 1000 Islands that they enjoy a few times a year. It’s beautiful water, fabulous scenery and awesome weather make it even more enjoyable. Who wouldn't want to spend time here?!
The Cook family also spent their summer with their new family member, Hazel. She is a chocolate lab and is adjusting well to her new home. Isn’t she adorable!
