Happy Holidays

My Young Friends,

I wish you a very happy and restful holidays and new year. As we finish up this semester, I am sure at least a part of your attention is on heading into the last semester of your high school careers. It's an exciting time, and also a bit of a scary one, to be honest. But I am looking forward to coming back together after a good, well-deserved rest and moving onto Senior English, part 2.

I am truly thankful for many things in my life. And being your teacher is one of them. I enjoy the English and I enjoy all the other life stuff we talk about. I just wanted you to know that as you head into 2009.

Take care of yourselves and each other. I will see you in the new year!

Love and Peace,
Mr. Huffman

Now, here is a gift:



And here is another one I just saw today. We can all be artists, right?
