School Volunteer

I took today off to volunteer at the school. The kids were doing a Thanksgiving celebration and the teacher needed lots of help. We arrived and were each placed at a station around the gym. They brought the kids in and separated them in groups at each station. They rotated between stations. They did all sorts of fun stuff.

Here's Emma painting turkey feathers that were hung on the bulletin board to form a huge turkey.

Here's Olivia making a beaded necklace. Before this station she made that cool headband.

This is Emma at my station. I was in charge of the turkey weave station. They painted turkeys and put hole punches in them and wove string through the holes.

While the kids went to PE, the parents went to the old gym to set up the Thanksgiving feast. Here are all the parent volunteers. It was really nice to meet some of the parents finally.

The kids were brought in for the feast. There was turkey, cranberries, corn, rolls, cheese, pumpkin pie...you name it...it was there! YUMMY!

This is Makayla with Olivia and Emma. She is one of their good friends that I hear about all the time. It was nice to finally meet her and the other kids I hear about so often. I was so glad I took the opportunity to volunteer today. I'm really going to try to volunteer more...I've already signed up for the Santa Express! Can't wait!
