The Reynoldz

OK.. so when Haidyn started school I decided that I was going to be an active parent in her learning so I decided to join the Home and School Committee (PTA). I have volunteered at schools during my teaching classes and the ones that stand out as being really "cool schools" always had a really active PTA. So I thought that is what I want for my girl as well..

Well.... The school has their annual "Fun Fair" coming up in November, now that is fine and dandy.. most schools have one of these and all schools need the money.. SOOOO I volunteered to help.

I was handed a list of a bunch or companies in the neighborhood to call and ask if they would be willing to sponsor the fair. <**BIG SIGH**> Great.. begging for fair goods.. yuck.. I hate to do this more than anything in the whole wide world! Can't I clean the toilets instead??

But I have a hard time saying "no" so I took the list and started my rounds... and guess what, it has been as terrible as I expected! I have spent probably 100 bucks in gas/thank you flowers/chocolates and have received about 40 bucks in donations. Not to mention dealing with the fed up shop keepers who, as I am finding out, are getting hit up by all the schools around town. (Summer is a busy fair time here I guess) ughhh.. I only have 5 more to go.. <*SMILE*>

Yesterday, the fair "committee chair" (mental note.. I do not want that job in the future) stopped me outside of school and asked me to create the school flyer. "OK" I said (because again, I can not say no)..
I did not have much direction so the picture above is my inital attempt.. (and guess who the featured illustrator is hee hee)..
I have submitted the flyer to the "fair committee" and will see if they approve.

WHAT IS NEXT??.. only 29 days until "Fair Time" and it does not seem like much has been done.. I have a feeling I am going to be BUSY..
