She Finds the Darnedest Places!

 

Our sweet Tiger, quite old now, but still unsure of her exact age, loves to sleep and curl up in the darnedest places....the bathroom sink; the middle of the garden right next to the catnip, and more.

Adorable to say the least.  Smart too.

“I would like to nominate Kuba Thelemarck for a good citizen. Kuba has worked in are classroom for two weeks as part of the BHS YES program. He also works at Very Merry as a teacher to help them put on plays but he has also been in a number of plays. He is kind, funny, caring and an amazing actor. He is going to UVM for college where he will major in education for kids. He has been an amazing teacher assistant helping us with anything we need and most importantly playing Very Merry games with us at recess. He works hard and he contributes to the community by doing summer camps and doing the YES program. That is why I believe Kuba Thelemark should be a good citizen.”

“I think Kuba Thelemarck is a good citizen, because he volunteers in our classroom to help us learn and be a teacher’s assistant, as part of the BHS YES program. He also works for Very Merry Theatre teaching kids about acting and putting on plays, which helps them to be more active. He also helps run summer camps. He is kind, caring, funny and friendly. He was with us for two weeks and will be going into college next year and we are very excited for him but we will miss him. He has really helped us out with anything we need. He helped us learn and grow. That’s why I believe Kuba is a good citizen!”

“I want to nominate Kuba Thelemark. Because he is a really good citizen and helps a lot. Not only as a helper but a really good person outside of school. And he stands in what he believes in. Another thing is he is really a kind person and if you get to know him you will love him.”

“I would like to nominate Kuba Thelemarck as an important citizen in my community. I would like to nominate Kuba because he makes tons of people happier by helping out in a classroom and putting on plays that anyone can enjoy. Kuba has been in very merry theatre where he does what he loves, by putting on plays, and that also allows everyone to enjoy the play because he is such a good actor. And back to the helping around the classroom, he did that instead of going on a trip or flying airplanes, all of that is part of the YES program. That stands for Year End Studies, which is where you can do all these fun things, and Kuba out of the goodness of his heart chose to help teach because he loves it. And that is just awesome! So I Nominate Kuba Thelemarck!”
