PTA Christmas Celebration at the School!

We went to the School's Christmas Celebration. All the kids were going to sing a song, and we were going to have a snack.

Emma Mae was really excited....

The 4th graders sang 'Jingle Bell Rock'. Bethany was very excited about being on stage.

(to the left of Bethany is Seth, and to the right is Ashely)

Jonathon wasn't sure of the words, so he read them from the paper. Mr. Lawson said they learned 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' but the teachers changed the song at the last minute. He really told us that over the mic at the end....LOL

(in the front left is Jaycee)

This is were Jonathon really starts to get into the song...LOL

The first graders sang 'Must Be Santa'. This was very good, they had arm movements and everything...LOL

I feel like we are playing 'Where's Jackson?' Do you see him?

There he is!

Now we are playing 'Where's Madi?' do you see her?

Silly she's the cutest reindeer on the stage!!

When I got to Madi's room to pick her up I said 'I'm here to pick up the cutest reindeer.' The teacher said 'Saying the cutest reindeer could be a problem.' I said 'It isn't if it's true.'....LOL

I mean really look at her, it doesn't get any cuter...LOL

We had to get a picture with our favorite Kindergarten teacher, who happens to be Avery's Mom...LOL

When I got to the 1st grade to pick up Noah he was upset that I picked him up last....LOL

This is one upset Santa...

Jackson was glad to see us. He was getting worried that I wasn't going to come and get him.....LOL

These are some happy kids.

We all went to the cafeteria for a snack.

Emma Mae can't wait until she can be in a Christmas program.

Now Santa is happy!

I think they should always have the kids do a presentation. There was a really good turn out. It was the most people I have ever seen at the school.

PTA Movie Night at the School!

The PTA sponsored Movie Night at the school. It was open to Kindergarten through the 2nd grades. We watched a bunch of Christmas movies, and sold snacks.

As you can see the children were really really excited.

This is Melissa May our PTA leader. She was busy popping popcorn all night. We just could never have enough. Also, on the table beside her was some other things we were selling at the concession stand.

This is Jonathon donating his time, and energy to this wonderful cause....LOL

Kids love the idea of hanging with their friends in the cafeteria, watching movies, being able to sit where they want, and they can also talk to each other....good times.


Noah just had to have these fun glasses.

"Give Me A Kiss"....LOL

All Madi wanted to do is have a snack and sit by Avery.

But this little boy was sitting by Avery....LOL

Noah found another little person that loved the glasses as much as he did.

This cute little one fell asleep at the very beginning, and slept through snacks, and movies....He was so upset when it was time to go...he felt like he missed everything.

Madi thought the glasses were great too!

The three of them just couldn't get enough....LOL

I give this wonderful event 2 thumbs up....LOL

Lock-In 2010

We had lock-in at Glyndale Elementary School on November 12, 2010. It was for the 2nd-5th graders. It went really well. Everyone really had a good time. Here are some pictures of the event.
We started things off with pizza, and a movie. You were allowed to sit with anyone you wanted, and you were allowed to talk.

5th grade girls in the gym.

The 5th graders tried to make a pyramid.....it didn't work so well...LOL

Then the 2nd through 4th grade went to the gym.

They did a raffle to see who got to put a pie in the Coach's face.

See the pie pan on the floor right there? Well everyone thought it was gross when one of the kids picked it up, and started eating the crust out of the pie dish. Others thought it was gross when the first kid swiped his finger across the Coach's face and ate it. Me, I thought the grossest thing ever was when one of the kids swiped the wall behind the Coach and ate it.....YUCK!!

They had assigned 2nd/3rd grade boys to one pod, 4th/5th grade boys to one pod, 2nd/3rd grade girls to one pod, and 4th/5th grade girls to one pod. Each pod had it's own chaperons.

I was one of two chaperons for the 4th/5th grade girls pod. We stayed up all night in our pod. We were the only pod that stayed up all night. The boys pods were the first ones asleep, then the other girl pod. Not everyone in the boys pod went to sleep. They had a small group of 4 boys that lasted almost all night, and then they had 2 that was up all night...You go boys....of course they totally want me to be the leader of their room next time, but Bethany already told me 'no way Jose'....LOL The girls in my pod really tried to stay up all night. Most made it to the wee small hours of the morning, but then fell right over where they were sitting...LOL

Shelby fell asleep 30 minutes before it was time to get up. Savannah, and Hannah made it all night long. One of my favorite things about this lock-in was meeting the other chaperon in my room. Her name was Judy Benner. She is the funniest person ever. We laughed all night long, and the girls really enjoyed us. I made the fortune tellers, and the girls used them on her. By the morning she was going to gain weight, fall in love, cry all day, go to college, get an A, see a unicorn, and have B.O........so funny!!

When I made the fortune tellers for the girls I would write good fortunes, and then one bad one. Except for Savannah she wanted all bad fortunes...LOL

I wrote you will have B.O. on Shelby's but when she read it to someone she said you will have Bo...'what does that mean? who's Bo?'....I laughed and explained it was B.O. which is short for body odor....LOL

For next time, I will have more to do in my host pod. I will also have candy, and snacks to sell in my host pod. I will also see if Judy wants to be my Co-hoster...LOL I am also going to give my girls some awards at the end....oh I have ideas....my pod will R-O-C-K!!

Amanda did such a good job organizing this thing. The teachers played guest appearance all night switching out....LOL Amanda made a really good breakfast for everyone....All in all I think it went well. We learned alot, and the kids had a GREAT time. What more could you ask for?
