Very Busy School Days/Nights

The elementary school decided to host Olympic Culture Night this year featuring stations of student Art displays, music from around the world, and multi cultural Olympic style games. Both the girls performed with their grade level. Kierstin was selected to play a steel drum to accompany the 3rd grade song. 5th grade made 'Carnival' style masks to wear during their performance of songs from Brazil and Argentina. Adrienne made a panda mask (front and center of the stage), and it's very cute! Additionally, the book fair was open for this semester. Unfortunately, that meant someone (wink, wink, can't say exactly whom) would be asked to dress up again in costume to help us welcome the students and help Kindergarten with their preview (see a post last November for same kind of thing)! However, this year the school had a fire drill in between Kinder classes visiting the library. Apparently, it was quite a site to see me leading Geronimo Stilton through the building and and across the parking lot hand in hand. Oh well all in a day's volunteering. Lastly, PTA (I was in charge) hosted our Annual Science Fair Night. All students grades 3-5 must complete a project and student K-2 may choose to do so. It's a wonderful event and fantastic way to see exactly what can come out of 8-11 year old minds. The projects are always amazing and the girls are friends with several of the winners from this years group. We also decided to add some fun to the evening by displaying the class pets from the building, along with Science Tools, and I invited the City of McKinney's Environmental Education team to come talk with us about recycling and pollution. I think/hope a good time was had by all, considering that's my PTA 'job'. I did not get a picture of each girl with their project that night but will try to soon. So enjoy the happenings of 2 nights and 1 morning! And that was only part of a week!!!
