Red Ribbons, Role Models, and Actors

It was Red Ribbon Week for the elementary school, which also means dress-up days.  

Caeden's class on School Spirit Day...

Today, they had an all-school assembly.  They talked about making good decisions, how teachers can support them, and they had a special presentation...

...by the JH student council!  Sylvia has been excitedly telling me about it for weeks, and was so happy to be a role model for the younger kids.

The kids talked about how being involved in school activities can help you make good decisions, stay away from things that are bad for you, and make good use of your time. Sylvia and Kelsey were the example of how music can help you express emotions...

Sylvia and Caeden have been such good sports this week, going to school with me the past 3 nights and just hanging around while I helped with makeup, ticket sales, and concession sales at intermission of the play.  Caeden found a book in the bleachers last night and read it while he waited.


Annah had just a few small lines in the play, one of them being the first in the second act.  The kids were all so funny with their dancing in the party scene.  

Addie told Sylvia this week during rehearsals that she makes her feel so calm and comforted that she's like her "therapy cat."  Haha...glad she could be of service.


Addie and Annah after the show...sister-friends

Both performances were great, and it was just such a fun experience all around.  Jeremy volunteered to drive, Annah and Addie and Alexis in to town to Denny's after the show tonight to hang out with a bunch of the kids from play.  They all had a great time together these past couple months!
