The final 15

We're down to the final 15 days of this school year.  Fifteen days, people!!!  Insanity!!  Much craziness is going down.  Book Fair was closed today.  PHEW!   We did really well & while I was beating myself up for not beating the old Chair's numbers, I realized that she had one more day of business than I did.  The ever fabulous Kristine took a few moments during breakdown/pack up to have a teaching moment & show me, box-wise, just how much we sold.   This was after she chastised me for not texting her a picture of my new sandals on Saturday.   Isn't she mean?!!!!  (I kid, I kid! If it weren't for the ever-fabulous Kristine being our Media Specialist, I wouldn't be the Chair!)

This week is Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week---I have two days where I'll be at school helping to well, appreciate our teachers & staff.  And a PTA meeting tomorrow night where we'll be voting for the 2011-2012 PTA slate of officers.  I'm being nominated for Treasurer which will increase my workload next school year a good bit.  I'm excited to pitch in & really get involved in planning a great school year for our kids.  I'm also a little nervous as well, it's a good bit more work!  A good good bit!  I realize I could have said no, but as we all remember, I have a hard time saying that when it comes to giving my time.

The following week is AR Celebration Week.  A couple months ago we had a meeting & decided to streamline the activities so the event isn't so drawn out, but is still just as much fun &  as much to choose from.      I need to check our supplies for the hair & face painting this week in case I need grab more.

And then we're in the final week (sniff sniff) of school.  While I'm looking forward to summer, I really am sad to see our crazy wonderful fantastic year come to an end. I'm proud of the work Sunshine has done this year. She's the top girl reader in her class, is a hard worker, has fantastic grades (remind me to tell you about our distict's standards based grading system) & has matured a bit.  Just a little.  She's still silly as can be, but I'm so proud to say she isn't a drama mama at school & doesn't put up with the drama mamas.  At 7, that's pretty great.

And then, three  days after school gets out, we're Disney bound!!!
