Celebration Time for Donations

Pupils gathered together on December 20th
to sing holiday songs with Mrs. Mendenhall!
It was our final day of classes, before break.
Mr. Williams told us that $1,800 in donations had been collected & given directly to the
"Jump Rope for Heart" organization. 
This child collected the most donations.
Names will be omitted to protect the innocent!
However, no one was really innocent......

Why?  Staff are suiting up to get "pied," 

by those youth who collected the most money.
Were staff members encouraging students?
Yes, yes they were!
It's a fact....some kids targeted their parent!
With lots of giggling from the crowd.
This child is thinking, "Are you ready?"
At this point there is lots more giggling.
Arm back....taking careful aim!
Me, why me?
Here.....it.....comes....mom.
Bulls eye, it's a done deal.
There was little doubt, lots of good sports!
A messy business.....but for a great cause.
A day we'll not soon forget!
"There is nothing in the world
so
irresistibly contagious as

 laughter and good humor."
~Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
