On Monday, I saw a friend from work post on Facebook that her office was closed Tuesday for the holiday. The lucky part? That meant I didn't have to work Tuesday and I got to go to the assembly. The unlucky part? I had to spend my day off making phone calls to all my students and volunteers in order to let them know not to come to class on Tuesday.
The kids were asked to wear different colors based on their grade level. First grade wore white, second grade wore blue. As a Boy Scout, William was asked to wear his scout uniform. Gemma had preschool in the morning, so I was able to attend the assembly by myself after dropping her off. This is big. I haven't been to the bathroom by myself since 2007.
The assembly was very cute and I'm so glad I could attend. Amelia's "talking hands" sign language club performed the Pledge of allegiance in sign language at the beginning. I was disappointed that due to where I was sitting, I couldn't see them perform.
Lucky for me, Amelia was more than happy to repeat her performance in the evening.
In closing, it would be wrong to not mention our family's favorite veterans. My brother, Mike is serving in the Navy and both of my grandpas have military background. My Grandpa Budd was on the army and my Grandpa Tom was in the navy. We thank them for their service and dedication to our country.
