This is one of those mornings I'm glad to be a part of the PTA. It was walk to school day this morning! We had a nice mini-breakfast set up for the kids, and our Risk Watch person was even considerate enough to have the donuts last in line, so they wouldn't cross contaminate the apples/oranges. A small detail that this mom of allergic kids is very grateful for.
The kids acted like it was Christmas at school! They got to draw on the sidewalk, get free zipper pulls and activity books about safety, and jump from footprint to footprint we had left on the sidewalk.
I had semi-celebrity status as several of the kids recognized me as x's mom or y's mom. All three of my boys had classmates/friends who sought me out like a prize at a treasure hunt. It's always nice to verify your kids have friends at school.
The school officials were all out and smiling. We had an officer speak about pedestrian safety, the nurse about why walking is healthy, an official from the city sanctioning our official "holiday."
All in all, the morning couldn't have gone better. Hopefully the rest of the day follows suit.
