Sugar Plums danced

The entire 3rd grade went to see a shortened version of The Nutcracker on the last day of school (yesterday), thus Nick's snazzy attire...

Then the class had a big party with crafts and cookie decorating (sugar cookies made by yours truly, a family tradition and love). Moms and Dads were chaperones and class helpers. I love being part of the school functions and classroom events. Love knowing the faculty and teachers.

ward friends, the Hopkins, and neigbhorhood friends

Enjoying the treats!

Ted on Watch D.O.G.S duty

This program is spreading like wild-fire in north Texas. I don't know if other states are getting involved, but all campuses in our district participate in this.

Watch D.O.G.S.

D = Dads

O = Of

G = Great

S = Students

Ted, along with many other dads, take 1 or more days off work per year and spend it at the kids' schools, greeting students in the morning, helping out at P.E., recess, lunch, math, writing, library...anywhere that the teachers or administration need them; primary with the students.

Ted loved it and has done a couple of half days so far this year. The big event the Watch DOGS plan and staff is Breakfast with Santa in December. The kids love it and so does the community. Ho Ho HO!
