Report Cards and Red Ribbon Week

Lots of excitement this week, as both kids' schools celebrated Red Ribbon Week against drugs. Here was G's lineup:
Monday-Peace Out to Drugs - dress 60s and 70s-she wore a tie-dyed shirt, peace necklace, flare jeans, a vest, and bandanna.
Tuesday-Join the Fight Against Drugs-camo-she won a prize for best outfit, any doubts?!?
Wednesday-Paws-itively Drug Free-Wampus Cat colors-wore her shirt from her bday party.
Thursday-Our School Rocks-dress like a rock star-she went for the skateboard/Fergie look.
Friday-Being Drug Free is No Sweat-wear sweats or PJs-of course, she wore PJs.

All of Gray's teachers had wonderful things to say about her - great student, hard worker, extremely well behaved and polite. Several of them would like to hear her voice in class more. :) She came out with all As and 1 high B in math - so proud! Her language arts teacher shared a story that she wrote in class that was hilarious. The gist of it was...asking her mom for something special, but instead she asked her dad, because once he sees her pretty brown eyes and tiny cute nose, he cannot say no to anything!

Here was J's lineup:
Monday-PJs
Tuesday-favorite hat
Wednesday-wear something from another country
Thursday-jersey or team shirt
Friday-wear RED

Ms. Thone wants to adopt Jack. She loves his sense of humor, is a good friend to all, and is a terrific, engaged student. He is above grade level in reading skills, Advanced in math, and had all Es for Excellent in all other subject matters and behaviors, except for a Good in art. (sorry Nana - we'll work on that one). Ms. Thone said the other day she was having a difficult time with a particular student and was getting frustrated. She stood up to take a break and passed by Jack's table. Jack looked at her and said "I will pray for you." She said she can always count on Jack to bring a smile to her face! I loved that.

Stay tuned for Halloween pictures!
