Taking a page out of Strange-Allen's book, Krista and her family pose with their prizewinning cow, Humphrey. Krista is the second one on the left, and her husband Shane iswearing a black cowboy hat (four over).

In an effort to help Mr. Bayne with his car troubles, Laura Eley pulls him into the Thompson parking lot. Some think she was being nice; others think it was the “rookie paying her dues.”

Before his life as a guidance counselor, Frank Stello worked as a professional wrestler. Under the tutelage of Mr. Walker, he won four world championships before giving into the life of paper shredders and grade exports.

Speaking of guidance, here comes Tisha on her brand new unicycle! Everyone wave back to her!

Of course, Tisha is not the only wild one on wheels. Here, we see our very own Pat Dayfield cruising through the streets with her cronies at a recent Harley Davidson rally.

Watch out! Before coming to Thompson Middle School this year, Ferida Meye was a world-class curler. Here, she is pictured at the 1993 World Games in Tokyo, Japan.

In this contest, she won a silver medal. Unfortunately, she was forced to sell her medals this year due to excessive library fines.

Holy catfish! Look at the giant fish caught by Helga Purnell and Jenny Allen on a recent outing to Lake of the Woods! The two of them decided to donate the finish to Marlene Webb and the rest of the cafeteria staff, where it would be used as a “Manager's choice” for the next two weeks.

Thompson's 2007-2008 'Teacher of the Year' recently decided to use her bonus to fly into space.

Here, Mrs. Worrell poses for a picture prior to her departure. When asked what she could see from space, she mentioned seeing Helga and Jenny carrying an extremely large fish.

Unfortunately, while on the moon, her brand new iPhone did not get service.

Most people don't realize that 6th grade science teacher Catherine Pryplesh is also an avid duck hunter. She has hunted duck on all six of the seven continents, and has won over a dozen 'duck calling' contest.

Her duck calling skills are such a valuable asset, that they were actually the deciding factor last summer when Mrs. Payne was deciding whether or not to hire her.

The biggest dilemma Catherine faces in duck hunting is that she can never find a camouflage hat.

Quack quack!

Although Cyndi has always been known to be a friend towards the reptile species, this crocodile stole the last apple dumpling that she had made for the 8th grade staff.

In a heroic effort, she was able to wrestle the alligator and retrieve the dumpling. Nice work, Cyndi!

You teachers think you were happy on the last day of school?

This is a picture of our very own Cathy Ortiz and Frank Stello the moment all of the grades were finally exported.
