Red Ribbon Week

So, I decided to join the PTA this year. I know it is kind of crazy because I only have a child in Kindergarten, but I really wanted to. I do have my reasons though. I taught for five wonderful years, and I was spoiled rotten by the PTA! I just felt like it was my time to give back, and I couldn't think of a better time than NOW! I only have two kids, and I am hoping to add to that number SOMETIME, so time will only be shrinking, not growing right? Anyway, I was put in charge of Red Ribbon Week. I was pretty excited to have a job, and I didn't think it could be that difficult! Well, thank goodness for good friends and a great pta president! I am pretty sure that my sweet friend Becky did most of the hard work, and I know that the pta president spent lots of time helping me wrap up the loose ends! Anyway, it ended up being a great week! I had a lot of fun, and I enjoyed being in the schools again! I was telling one of my teacher friends that works at the school that I loved being there: the smell, the kids, the office staff, I do miss it. But, I love staying home with my little darlings! And, I get to go back every month to help in Scrubba's classroom and help with the pta birthday table for all of the students! Yippee! Jordan School District just can't get rid of me!

Good for you! We don't even have a PTA because apparently it disbanded over our last principal. I'm glad to be blog friends now!
