    One of my last jobs for the Walkathon at school was to put together a bulletin board that displayed the results for the students. We exceeded all our goals this year.

    To kick off the school walkathon they hold an assembly to pump up the students and to explain their role in the fundraiser process. We recruited Joe and another dad, Gary, to be our Blues Brothers. The opening act included singing “Sole Man”. The ‘sole’ spelling was our small tie in to anything doing with…

    We received the photos form the Father-Daughter Valentine’s Day dance. I love this picture but Monti may need to buy better quality accessories to go with her outfit next year.
