Lindsey....Our Little Character!

This year our school is doing something a little different with our "Character of the Month," program. Each early release day we are holding a school wide assembly. The teachers choose their Character of the Month ahead of time and send a secret letter home inviting the parents to the assembly. The students are then surprised at the assembly. They play loud music and have colorful lights going and all of us teachers make a tunnel for them to run through while everyone is cheering for them. Today was our first assembly and Lindsey was chosen as the Character for her 4th grade class. Mark was able to get a sub for the morning and be there! Lindsey was a little suspicious when she came into the assembly and saw her Daddy there. I told her it was because he knew that Mommy had to perform in the teacher skit at the assembly and he came to make fun of her! I think she bought it! She seemed very surprised when they showed her picture on the big screen and called her name! We are so proud of Lindsey and her great character!







Softball and Heatstroke




Caity pitched in her first game of the season this past Saturday. She did a great job. Her pitching coach, Vanessa, came to help her warm up and offer encouragement. She was doing great and then after the inning was over started to feel very sick and looked like she might pass out. We ended up having to take her home after that inning. Why they have to play games in the middle of the afternoon when it is still 100 degrees outside is beyond me. Thank goodness we have had cooler weather this week and this Saturday's game is at 8 am!
