The Volunteer Parent - Swim Banquet
Celebrating Swim Season in Pictures!

Last night we had our  swim banquet for our high school team. Usually, we would have had the ‘Winter Sports Banquet’ at the school before now, however, this year we were on our own to do our own thing. The annual Winter Sports Banquet was cancelled due to a very scary event with our boys’ basketball team. The banquet was cancelled because of a game that had to be rescheduled to that specific night. So after that, there were no open nights for another banquet night…

I have to admit, I didn’t think it was actually going to happen although I had been planning it for over a month and a bit.  I reserved a room at a pizza place and it was $13 a person. I wasn’t going to do centrepieces because so much was happening but I’m glad we did now. They were not grand and spectacular by any means but the kids LOVED them:)

The Volunteer Parent - Milk, Cookies and Mustaches

Several years ago, I was looking for something a little different to do for our teachers/staff during Staff Appreciation week.  We did not have a huge budget at all and at this point in the year, teachers really don’t have a lot of time to stop and sit and visit. The closer to the end of the school year, the crazier it gets for everybody.  I wanted to create something fun.  I had just bought some really cute mustache stamps and I knew that’s the theme I wanted to go with. I just had to find something fun.

Volunteer Parent - 3rd Top Pick

Here we are at our 3rd Top PTO Expo Pick!!

I have to say I’m really excited about this one:)  I actually presented it to our Middle School Principal yesterday and he loved the idea.

First of all, I have to give my sweet husband credit for this one.  We found the booth and I thought it was really cute but almost dismissed it until he stopped me and told me his vision for this product:)
