Looking through my mesh hat up at what appeared to be a speck of sunlight through the thick sky I found myself pondering: do I have some extra time? Oops, I meant "free time" but we skipped that part and went straight into the answer that, now that I am thinking straight, should have been "well, not really....."
BUT - Alas, I am glad I put myself out there [again] as now I have decided to become a part of the PTO for my Kids' school. Went to the first meeting last week and found myself heated about the involvement we all [do/don't] play a part in at the school. Even the sudden shift in attendance and familiar faces now gone and new faces filling those very seats has come to the front of my mind - Are there people that are here to stay? Is this just a landing point for some? Is there a true reason to pull your children from one school to the next? I know there are circumstances that may arise to which there is no remedy and a move out of district may be necessary but REALLY?
Reasoning for taking this personal: Our school is a good school, good people, caring staff and with more parent and community support we could make the necessary equipment and exterior fixers that will help our kids as well as give our school the outer beauty that already lies within! So my duty is to help make the public aware of what we are in need of at the school - with PHOTOS! My FaVoRiTe! Plus some good ol' You-Tube videos. Still to come .... I am pretty stoked about being behind the scene and over the next few months I am going to work diligently. First Order is our Playground. A safer place to play, a more age appropriate setting and something a little more updated because, lets face it.... the 1970's were fantastic and all but we have grown out of the wobbly sliver filled play structure and "snake" pole!
