Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for all the donations for the Survivors of Nepal!

So many donations poured in from books, to toothbrushes, to balloons.

Mrs. Allen told me one of the Kindergartners wondered why they needed balloons. She told him they were easy to pack. The children do not have toys to play with but balloons are fun and light and easy to pack. 🙂

I apologize for not blogging the past few weekends. My children are in the Bob Jones Band. I was at the preseason game against Carver in Montgomery week before last. Last week I went to the game in Decatur. We even supported Discovery and many of our former West Madison students last Saturday. I missed the 7th grade game, but heard our former students played an awesome game.
