Just another ordinary Friday...




Friday was quite the day! It's not every day that the Vice President of the United States makes a stop at a local middle school gymnasium. :)  Now, I have to make a quick disclaimer:  I am not making a political statement about either party! I am simply saying it is kind of exciting that the current Vice President comes to a school district to speak. So, I had to go and check it out.  Mr. Jones took some students with him from his school and I went with.
                 


 I have to say the teachers and staff at Aldrich did an AMAZING job getting ready for this event and handling all of the "things" that went along with it. :)

 After this event wrapped up, I hurried back to my school in time to have our class Because of Winn-Dixie party.

We just finished reading the book and celebrated by watching the movie and throwing a party just like the one in the story.  I cut out lots of dog pictures and decorated the hallway with them.  We put up pink, orange, and yellow crepe paper on our door and wrapped some horehound candy in tin foil for Littmus Lozenges.  Our wonderful parents set up a table full of egg salad sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches, pickles, and Dump punch too!

It was quite the day and one I won't soon forget!
