New Market Elementary earned an "A" grade from the state of Indiana. This is a huge deal and hadn't been attained in 5 years. The principal asked if the PTO would throw a party to celebrate on the first day back to school after break. It was a surprise to the kids.
We rented 4 huge inflatables and had them put in the gym. We also bought 10 huge Costco cakes to be served at lunch.
The kids came by grade and each grade had 40 minutes. Because of the number of inflatables and the limited number of kids, it was actually a really long time to enjoy. The kids were beside themselves!
Camden loved spending the time with her best friend, Macie. These two are such fun together - they have similar energy and are so kind and supportive of each other.
Gramma Pat valiantly spent the day helping. She was either monitoring lines on the gigantic slide or serving cake in the lunch room.
The next day at our PTO meeting, our principal said it was her favorite day ever as a principal. I do have to say, despite some frustrating organizational stuff, it was a special day of celebration and a perfect transition back to school.
