Make A Wish Car Show June 21st, 2008

I helped at the Make A Wish Foundation Car Show. We took pictures with the cars and their owners, and with the Make A Wish Child that was Sponsored. He wants to take his family to Disney World. He is an amazing young man! He has a great smile and is a crowd pleaser. The car show raised $13,000 at the initial count at the end of the show. I loved taking the trophies to the winners! I also made a new friend---Mrs. Kansas America 2008---Kimberly McDowell!

Parent Invovlement in their Children's Education!

As the Parent Volunteer Coordinator, I set aside every Wednesday for parents and volunteers to come to the school and do things for the teachers. We called this day "Helping Hands". Our volunteers were awesome!

This year we started a DAd's group and they came to school during a day set aside for them and visitied the classroom. These Dad's are amazing!

My Children's Schools Received Awards!

Allen Elementary Received the "Red Carpet Award" which is for being the friendliest school. Parents and people who come to our school feel comfortable and welcome! As the PTO president and the Parent Volunteer Coordinator, I was apart of the reason we received this award! It was so awesome to accomplish this for our school!

Robinson Middle School Received the "No Place for Hate" Award. They had all the students write notes and they tied them to balloons and we sent them off to the world--the sky! I went and helped hand out the balloons and launch them. The kids loved seeing the crown. The girls came up and some wanted pictures and some wanted hugs. The boys wanted me to sign their arms---Fun things kids do! It was a lot of fun!
