Here's your final picture of Mary Brown in her festive Christmas garb, accompanied once again by her AP Senior English class--and Santa! As you can see, everyone is very excited by the prospect of the coming week of winter break.*

Thank you, Mary, for sharing your holiday spirit with us this month and, more importantly, for the great work you do all year long teaching Honors French, AP English, and SAT Prep to students at Clear Spring High School in Washington County, Maryland. On top of all her other work, Mary is working towards her National Board Ceritfication.
Special thanks, also, to Mary's Clear Spring colleague Nadine Fox for her excellent photography and for uploading and sending me these pictures every evening. In addition to working with Clear Spring's students with special needs, Nadine and her husband run Buck Valley Ranch, a bed and breakfast in Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania.
Thanks also to Mary's AP students for joining in the festivities the past few days.
Finally, thanks to my sister, Rachel Kurtz, who teaches English along with Mary at Clear Spring and who helped set this whole thing up. I'm looking forward to seeing Rachel this afternoon as we head home to celebrate Christmas with family in Michigan and Indiana!
Merry Christmas, y'all!
*The Quick and Ed team is also looking forward to a winter break next week, so expect light posting until January 2, when we'll return rested and feisty for the new year.
