What a Success!!!

First let me start by saying that I leave tomorrow morning for 3 days with the 5th graders at Sky Ranch.  Hmmm...  I haven't packed, still have laundry to do, haven't slept much this weekend and need to shower.  This may be my shortest post, yet (I know some of you are saying that is a good thing).

Wow!  Grandparent/Special Friend Tea was such a success this year.  Jeannie Tierney and Tiffany Ching, as well as their fabulous committees, did a GREAT job of decorating and organizing the event.  A special thanks to Dena Buford who went way out of the box helping out.  The cafeteria looked wonderful and I think this was the most organized of all the teas in the past.  I was up filling those cookie trays all day and want to thank all of the volunteers who sent in items.  I do believe they were really enjoyed by all of the students and their special friends.  I would also like to thank all of the moms and dads who came and worked as greeters or servers.  It was a lot of hard work, but I know the effort was appreciated.   I think the kids really enjoyed showing their special friends around the school.

Thank you to the teachers who really worked hard this year to create a memorable event.  Many of them used their Smart Boards during the classroom time and many of the grandparents made a special effort to find me to thank the PTO for purchasing those for their grandchildren.  I think they thought they were as cool as the kids think they are.

I am going to go and start packing now.  Wish me luck.  I am sure next week's blog will be about this amazing (and probably exhausting) 5th grade field trip.
