Some of you were able to share Wed. 10/29 at El Carmelo as we posed for the annual Rainbow Picture. Thank you, Chris, our wonderful photographer who dared to be creative on a 10-foot ladder for the sake of a beautiful picture and a fun time.
Even more of you attended the Thu. 10/30 Pumpkin Project and shared in the enjoyment of several dozen finely carved pumpkins, many of which were donated later to elder-care facilities. Thank you to the kids that carved pumpkins and to the PTA volunteers that made that event as well as the coffee and chat table nearby possible.
And even MORE of you were able to take off some time this morning to attend the Halloween Parade. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. The costumes were great and the rain even provided a new way to hold the parade that seemed to be enjoyable for all. Thank you to everyone that helped our kids have a good time this morning.
One last thing. As I went in to classrooms this afternoon, intending to help teachers with whatever end-of-Halloween issues might have arisen, I discovered a calm, productive hum of activity everywhere I went. No drama. I have rarely felt so satisfied by being superfluous. All of which to say that we have here the most talented, skilled and generally fantastic teachers at El Carmelo. Thanks to you all for a wonderful week!
