Can’t believe this is my 5th year being retired from school. Mrs. H hosted our annual retiree brunch on the 1st day back to school for Benzie. Always a good time with this crew 😊
Wishing the students and staff a wonderful and safe school year!

I know the guys have a very different experience than us ladies do during the tournament. Us ladies have lots of fun with music, singing, dancing, talking, laughing, eating, drinking and fishing 🎣
The guys are very serious, not much “fun” goes on, just serious fishing🎣
Well it paid off for them. They ended up taking the High Five award for Saturday and 2nd place overall 🏆
Congratulations guys‼️I’m proud of you 👏🏼
