More school fun!

As my last volunteer hurrah before Kellan was born, I helped out in Ella's class for their Winter Party. I was able to bring Lily along too, which was fun for her because she got a chance to see what Kindergarten was all about. Of course, she probably thinks it's all fun and games since we were there for a party. When we left, she told me, "I LIKE Ella's school!" I bet she does!

March 9th we visited Ella's class again, this time with the whole family in tow to help Ella celebrate her "Super Duper" status (each kid is the Super Duper Kid for one week during the year)! She got to bring in a bunch of photos to share with the class as well as a little interview sheet about her favorite things.

March 13th, the elementary school held their annual carnival which is a HUGE fundraiser for the school. The previous year they made $45,000! They had different games and stations set up throughout the classrooms, a silent auction in the library, and a live auction in the cafeteria. Carnival-style games could be found in the gym. Leading up to the carnival, the kids had different theme days at school. For example, Monday was Dress Fancy Day, Tuesday was Crazy Hair Day, Wednesday Backward Shirt day and so forth. Ella was sooo excited for it all! Ella's classroom was transformed into a nail salon and we got to see her Super Duper stuff up on the wall.


The last photo shows the crazy hair Ella got at the carnival.

April 2nd was Pajama Day! Parents were invited to join in if they were able, so Andrew volunteered his time and enjoyed fun snacks and reading time with a few of the kids in Ella's class. She was so proud to have him there and share some of her favorite books with friends.
