I Pledge Allegiance….

Parker and his lovely friend Lainie were given the honor of leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the school board meeting last night. Each 3rd and 4th grade class gets a turn to pick 2 kids for this honor. Parker is a really good student and a good citizen (at school---home could use some improvement) and let’s be honest, it doesn’t hurt that his dad is the vice president of the school board. This is the kind of thing he usually doesn’t want any part of, but he stepped up and did a great job. Lainie is a natural leader and entertainer, so she was right at home in front of an audience.

And this is the amazing Mrs. Brown who nominated them for the honor. She is retiring next year so she will not be Jack’s 3rd grade teacher (sob.) What a blessing it is to have teachers you adore!

And just because it’s bugging me—our school colors are red and white. Why are the junior high lockers purple? Of all colors—purple!?
