For the past month, our Home and School and a couple of members of the Community Connections team have been working day and night to organize the First Annual Community day for our school. Seven of us worked tirelessly on this venture and the person heading it up even took a weeks vacation. We’re all exhausted but had a great time. We had roughly 50 tables of community groups and businesses, the fire station brought the smoke house, a couple of churches and a convenience store took care of the BBQ, the Y did children’s activities. We had dance and yoga demonstrations and a silent auction. Best of all, we had 400-500 people in our school having a great day. My only regret is not taking more pictures. I know there were lots of positive comments buzzing around. I think our Home and School has redeemed itself and hopefully we’ll be able to draw new members in September. The last 4 years, it’s been a membership of 4-5 parents in a school of 850.
I’ll add a smilebox when I get it finished.
