School...bits

I should say that it is NOT the PTA that is changing the Ice Cream Social, we all want to have it, as in past years. It is an important event to kick off the school year and start community building for the coming year.

And the kids really look forward to this event!! It is one of the most attended of the whole year. Sorry to see it go by the waistside.

Voice your opinion with me if you want to have it re-instated.

School

Well, it's that time of year again. Waiting by the mailbox for the letter with teacher assignments, getting all the school supply list, finding the "perfect" backpack and me getting geared up for the schedule.

I am thinking of cutting out some of my chairing responsibilities this year. I have several reasons for putting this option on the table. I'm waffling back and forth with the idea and what to cut and what not to cut. Or should I cut it all? I'm a bit miffed, to put it mildly, about the Ice Cream Social being basically cancelled this year. That is a bit reason why I'm thinking about cutting back. Why should I donate hundreds of hours of my time, my funds, my energy, and time away from my family to help make the school community better for the kids, parents and teachers?

My kids, and I, are very disappointed in this and it has put a bad taste in our mouths before the school year has started.

Well, things to think about...
