Just an average day at Hester Jr. High!
I've had this idea of documenting as much of one day as possible for a long time and I was finally able to do it on Valentine's Day!
Below are all the pictures that were worth posting. There was even more going on, but I'm not so skilled with the camera on my new phone so some pictures were not that great!
Feel free to leave me some feedback!
