Braggin'

Being President of our Parent/Teacher Fellowship at our son's school doesn't really mean a whole lot - other than you work your tail off and don't get paid for it!  But I love every minute of it - and I love the girls who are on this team with me.  This past week was Teacher Appreciation Week at our school and what a week it was!  Our theme this year was "Our Teachers Rock!".  Each day the teachers had parents work carpool for them - morning and afternoon; lunch and recess coverage 3 days that week; a beautiful tote filled with goodies, massages, coke floats, prayer time (my favorite - where our prayer moms pray over the teachers as they come for their appointments) and to top it all off, a luncheon to end the week.

Our team worked so hard - I cannot begin to say how much they did.  Each teacher and staff member (almost 90 of them) got a $20 gift card at the luncheon - presented in pretty bags, and 16 lucky ones got to pick from the door prize table.  At this table were door prizes ranging from a week at a beach house (worth $2,500); Bobcats Tickets, $200 necklace, $150 mall gift card, Hockey tickets, meals once a week for the rest of the school year, etc.  We did a diner theme, with 50's music playing in the background and black and red and white decorations.  Pot pie with salad and rolls were served, as well as a beautiful cake.  It was a great week - I was exhausted and yet so happy to see all the teachers received this week.  It was amazing.  Here are a few pictures from the luncheon we put together.
