This week has been Catholic Schools week here in our town. With that comes lots of events connected to school. Since I am on the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization), I have been involved in many of the activities.
Working backward from this morning: the teacher appreciation breakfast
I was responsible for coordinating the volunteers to make breakfast for the teachers and staff. It was a bit of challenge as I got 1 week's notice for this, but it all came together.
the teachers- talking and eating in the morning.
Breakfast: 3 casseroles (another one came in a few minutes later), 3 trays of fruit, 2 trays of muffins and juice (not in the picture)
A note to the teachers and staff. I need to bring colored chalk next year. Some staff came in and got a plate and left, others stayed and hung out. It was a good morning.
Last night was bookfair- so parents could come with their kids if they did not get to come to open house that was on Sunday.
Our cool cashiers- they manned this station all night.
some of the books- I love that we are in a new room now. We used to be in the library and it was pretty cramped. Now we have huge multi-purpose room to spread out in. Deb M did a great job getting the room decorated. She has a group of moms that are super creative.
The theme was s'mores and camping. So cute!
The little reading area- complete with a fake fire. the kids loved it.
I wanted to sit here and read.
The bulletin board to pick up wish lists from the teachers. Rocket and I bought a bunch of books for the Spanish teacher and his reading teacher.
Open house on Sunday- he is so tall now, he has to bend over. Rocket and I led tours for perspective families. We got to meet K-4th grade families. So many kids switching schools. After leading tours, we went to see Rocket's teachers in the junior high wing. I still cant believe he is in junior high. He has all the teachers because each one teaches one subject across the 3 grades (6-8), so it was just a matter of stopping by and saying hi and seeing his work.
Me and my boy.
I liked this sign outside the art and music rooms. So true!
Tonight is the last event for Catholic Schools week- the talent show. Rocket refused to try out for the talent show, so we will go watch everyone else. He could be playing the piano. I have started telling him that he should play a Star Wars medley his last year since he plays Star Wars music for his piano recital. This is year 3 that he will play one of the Star Wars themes. I think I am going to ask his piano teacher if she can help him link the songs so he has a longer piece in a few years.
That's all for this week. I am looking forward to a less busy week next week.
Love and hugs,
Deb
