Pre-K Picnic

This Wednesday evening was Olivia's Pre-K Picnic - the final event of the school year. Of course, it POURED. So, we all had to squeeze inside. It was extremely cramped, but we got through it. The kids went up front and sang 3 songs, Grand Old Flag, Don't You Worry, and I'm Ready for Kindergarten Now.




After singing, the kids got to join their families (if they could find them in the crowd). Each child had made an "All About Me" booklet with art work they'd done during the year.



Then we tried to eat. Lots of families gave up and left, so that made some more room for us. I had decided to keep it simple and just brought pizza and cookies with juice bags to drink.

This is Emily, one of Olivia's calssmates. Her family sat behind us. Her mom brought fresh vegetables and fruits to eat. Phooey on that! Health nut!!

Here's Olivia with Miss Kathleen, her teacher. Miss Kathleen is great and Olivia loved school because of her. Too bad we can't take her along to Kindergarten. But, all the Kindergarten teachers at her new school have good reputations, so I'm not worried about who shell get.

This is Miss Shantelle, the Teaching Assistant. She was great, too! What more can you ask for? (The previous assistant, Miss Tia, is out on maternity leave.)

We got one piece of pizza down and the daycare workers started putting the cafeteria tables back in place in top of us, so we packed up and left. Of course, we walked out into a SUNNY blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. If only it could have cleared up one hour earlier... Oh well!!
