Refurbished Playground


In this volunteer business there are times when your efforts are never seen and then there are other times when you can see immediate results. The kids went crazy when they found out there merry-go-round worked. You see the results here.



I counted up to 15 kids on this little thing at various times. It was clear that many had to learn how to play on the merry-go-round.

And then there are students that will "mug it up" when they see the camera. Refurbishing the playground renewed student interest in playing there.
We spent two hours in meetings after school today talking about grading systems and using course content to help set standards in grading. For some at the meeting this was totally new information. This story will probably go on for some time.

Amanda and Austin say "Cheeeese" when I pull out the camera. What do they say over there? Amanda also says "take a movie mom" and then when I do, she still says "cheese". Great pictures by the way.
Love you!

I think National Geographic could use some one with your photographic talents. That one with the girls on the merry-go-round is my favorite. Smiles for every one. Don
