CSW - day 2

I had a simply wonderful day - today for Catholic Schools Week was parent appreciation day, and a balloon launch. It was great. I took the day off to help out and spend the day with they boys. After dropping them off I went over and helped a group of other parents with the balloon launch activities. Some worked on balloon, some painted signs, and I helped with the hand cut-outs. It was really fun working and visiting with other parents.

Brian had a work day at school (student holiday), so he was able to come over and we had lunch with the boys. We ate with Kade, and then his teacher let him stay with us and wait for Noah. A couple our our nieces even joined us - they all felt special to be at a different table than all their classmates. After their lunches, Brian went back to work, and the kids all returned to their classes as it was almost time for the balloon launch.

The whole school then met on the football field - they all had their Eco Friendly balloons and waited for the countdown, then released then all at one time.

After some cleanup I picked Kade up, we ran a few errands then went home to do some laundry before going back to pick Noah up after school. Kade said "today was the best day", and I have to agree, it was really good.

Tuesday for CSW is teacher appreciation, so the HSA asked the parents to send $ for a catered meal, a desserts, and for volunteers to substitute for the classes so the teachers all can have the luncheon together. I haven't sent the dessert in the past, but decided to do so this year, I made one of my favorite, it looked so yummy, I hope they enjoy it. After being with the children all day, it really makes me appreciate the teachers.

Wednesday is student appreciation - Noah is looking forward to this - the teachers do something special for the kids.

Thursday is the Chicken Noodle Soup Supper and the Variety show, which is always fun.

and

Friday is no school.

I may have to start taking more days off during Catholic Schools Week. :)
