Disappointed....but Determined!

Well as some of you may know or heard, the Donegal School District community voted against the $114 million referendum last evening which would have provided our children with new schools, which are long overdue. The amount of money being asked for from the tax payers dollars was just to much. I am very disappointed that the outcome couldn't have been a better one but hope that we can recover from this and in 5 months the school board can come back with a plan that will suite all the needs of the community. I just hope the cost to build doesn't increase in that time, or the amount of children in our schools doesn't increase any further (as it has been) or they could have a real problem on their hands! It is a real shame for the kids in this district and right now I would say I am not proud to be a part of this community. I will keep an open mind about the upcoming months, but its hard when you have small children who will ultimately be affected by this decision in the end!

With enough said, there has not been much going on in our house hold this past week. Makayla and I are getting ready to head to Tennessee on Friday am with Paula's for her upcoming Mini Nationals. She is VERY excited about the bus ride there, can't say I am though:) I will be posting her results and pictures as soon as I get back. Good luck Makayla and the girls at PSOB!!!
Matthew started indoor soccer this week. He has his first game on Friday evening. He really likes it so far, easier to kick, no off sides, what more could he ask for! Mason had his first wrestling practice last night, and LOVED IT! He came right home and showed me his drop step and how to hold the wrists. He is more and more like his dad everyday!
Other than that the Ober's are doing well. I will try to get some new pics posted soon!! Wish you all a good rest of the week!
