When I was in Junior High School back in Rochester, New York, a teacher of mine – “Coach Cooper”, I think it was made “Cooper Bucks” – they were slips of paper – in money-format and we were given them for doing “good things” like getting A’s, and helping in the classroom.
My buddy (and 5th grade teacher) Craig talked about doing the same thing.
I present to you the Helfrich Bucks:

Available in 5’s, 10’s, 20’s, 50’s, and 100’s
For a small fortune I would be willing to give the originals to any current or future Helfrich student!
Just don’t tell Craig.
In other news, it stopped snowing/icing/raining.
Nothing’s falling from the sky, but the roads look pretty yucky. Warsaw schools already have a two-hour delay, so Jess, Craig, and Lindsay are pretty excited.
I’m suffering from “no BOX” anxiety this evening – I can’t imagine being tired enough to go to sleep. I usually have been drained by forty teens by this time and am just now heading home on Wednesday night.
Jess and I stayed in this evening and enjoyed The Bourne Supremacy. Possible review on that tomorrow for the “archives”!
Hi Stevan! Looking forward to seeing you and Jessica at our family Christmas this weekend. I am praying for the weather to cooperate!
Love you both, Mom Garrett
