aisforamyWell, the public hearing is over, and we had really good attendance. They had to use the cafeteria for the overflow...and that has never happened before for a Board Meeting. I got up and spoke, as did a dozen or so others, and gave the board something to think about. I think we made a good impression, and have a very real chance of keeping our school open.
I got interviewed by News Channel 3, but I don't think they ever aired it, and I got interviewed by KTAR talk radio, though I never heard whether that aired either. Doesn't matter, since I never wanted to be on camera, and I hate the sound of my voice. I WAS on channel 99, which is the Mesa Public Schools channel here. Woo! I am famous! Not.
Now, it is on to getting Carnival done, and that is going well. I sent out several flyers today with students. I think the teachers are going to start hating me, for all of the stuff I have been sending out lately, but a lot of it has to do with saving their jobs, so I don't think they can mind that much. It appears that I am going to be PTO President next year by default, because you have to serve on the Board for one year before you can be president, and no one on the Board wants the job. I don't mind. I love being involved at my kids' school.
Today, I ran into the special ed preschool class hunting for their classroom teddy bears. It was SO ADORABLE!! The teachers were leading them around, asking everyone if they had seen their teddies. It was some sort of activity, so I don't know where they actually hid them.
Speaking of Special Ed...this is the coolest thing EVER: http://www.flaghouse.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=31248
How cool is that? I am going to have to see if we can find sponsors next year to equip our Special Needs Program with some interactive stuff and playground tools.
Today, I have a PTO meeting after school, and tonight I will be refreshing my memory on the life Georges Rouault for tomorrow's Art Masterpiece presentation. I hope to RP a little tonight, but I will have to wait and see how that goes.
I also have to run very soon to return a book to the library, and figure out what the heck I am going to make for dinner tonight. I'm thinking spaghetti sounds good.
OH!!! Also, your prayer and good vibes would be appreciated for the grandson of our Media Specialist at the kids' school. He was born with a lot of health problems, and today they finally got the liver for the transplant he desperately needs. The surgery is probably already under way, and the family needs all the support and prayers they can get! Also, a prayer for the family that donated the liver, as well...I am sure they are dealing with no small amount of grief and hardship, too.
I hope everyone has a great day!
