Two Other Events From Last Week

As part of Red Ribbon Week last week, the kids were able to do chalk drawings on the playground. I've posted some of the ones I thought were funniest/cutest.

Here's me on Wed. (sweats day) notice the socks... they were my 'pockets' while I was outside. LOL

This was done by a first grader. Very cute I thought.

" 'No smoking aloud', but you may smoke quietly" haha.

'Never drink drugs' LOL. OK!

This was drawn by a sixth grade boy. Quite creative and very well drawn. There were multiple colors in the fire on the building, but I couldn't get a good picture of it :(

I'm not sure who wrote this, but they make a good point ;)

On Friday, along with wearing red, we had an assembly outside with Pastor Fred from our sister school in Africa. He has come to visit our school a couple of times before.
Our choir sang Day O (the Banana Boat Song) for the school and Pastor Fred.

Pastor Fred spoke to us and taught us some words in Swahili. It was fun! The two guys in the background were here playing the drums (African drums) while we were waiting.

Here's the kids learning words and listening to Pastor Fred.

After everyone was done talking, we got to watch the Bank of American Fork's piggy hot air balloon get blown up. Thanks to my brother for taking the pictures!!!

"Watch out!! He's gonna step on you!!"

Up and Away

I think this is the third? or fourth? year we've had the pig come to the school as part of our red ribbon week. It is so fun to watch it get filled with air and fly into the sky!
