Halloween Ninteenth

We made it through another week, my friends. And this week ended quite fabulously. I spent a whole day at the kids' school helping out. First, I helped with picture retakes. Then, I made boxes for a candy competition to help with our Trunk-or-Treat event. Next was lunch with both my kids. I treated them to a special lunch and I also helped clean the cafeteria. I ended my day with distributing event fliers and candy collection boxes to each classroom.

Let me tell ya, I was so impressed with how hard the staff and teachers work. I was excited to meet more of the teachers and staff. The amazing office ladies were busy from the start to the end of the day helping parents, sick kids and teachers alike. The principal started the day with a staff meeting and then spend the rest of the day going from classroom to classroom listening to and mediating between students that needed problem solving help. It is so refreshing to be part of a school that cares so much about the students and that also aims to build community. 

Guys, I know most of you probably appreciate the teachers in your lives, but have you ever taken some time to spend a day on a school campus and just lend your hands and ears? There's so much work and heart that goes in to running a school. Students aren't just getting an education. They're learning how to be leaders, how to problem solve, how to empathize, how to work together and so so many more things. I guess this is my call to arms here. It would make my heart so happy to hear your stories about awesome teachers and staff are. It would make my heart even happier to see how you are helping make schools successful. Does anyone else serve on a PTO or PTA? Do you volunteer in a classroom? Tell me about it!
