Another HUGE Success!

As a "newbie" to the elementary school, I was not aware of the sheer magnitude of such an event as Nothin' But Fun Day! Within a matter of hours our school - inside and out - was transformed into an even more student-inspired, teacher-and-parent-approved campus. Blow-ups filled the gym, carnival-like booths lined our playground... they even drilled holes in our asphalt to anchor the massive tent. It was extraordinary! PTO parents spent hours and hours in preparation for this well-attended and much-anticipated day, and for that we are all thankful.

Anything for our children, right?

To close down the evening, many of us made our way up to the high school football field to watch the Mustangs play. The weather had been so temperamental the entire day, yet the poncho-clad fans didn't let it stop them. Thinking over the exciting day of children's smiles, helpful volunteers, and sweet teachers doling out hugs and high-fives to their current and past students, I couldn't help but think, "God is here." Those of us filling the bleachers were given yet another sign of His presence as one of the most beautiful rainbows I've ever seen arched its way over the playing field. What a marvelous way to end a fantastic day!

Shine bright,
