Cirlefest part Deux

This is the picture I got of Jared, Sydney and Kyle after Circlefest. I don't know if you can see but Kyle and Jared had their hair colored! Sydney just wanted to show off her Ice cream and be with the boys (no circlefest until next year for her.)

CircleFest 2009

Every year at school, the third graders have a Circlefest. It was named Circlefest because it is held in the Drop-off/Pick-up circle. The kids have to earn (teacher - fake) money through-out the year by behaving correctly and meeting goals. They then get to go spend this money on games, a sweet shop and raffles. For each game they play they receive stars that they can trade in for items at the 'Swap Shop'. At the end of Circlefest they all sit under a tree and listen to who won the raffle items. This year there was a record breaking 48 raffle items.

I wish I had remembered my camera, but I guess I'm glad I forgot because Jeff and I did the crazy thing and volunteered to set-up, run a game and break down. The 'game' I inherited was tattoos, which isn't a game it's plastering child after child with, basically, stickers. Jeff's was a Sunflower seed spitting contest. Eeewwww.

So being a little more tanned and a lot more tired, the fest was over after breaking everything down. The best part was seeing all the kids and our Jared have fun and winning a raffled Bakugan. Another good thing, I get to do it all over again next year for our Sydney. Here are a couple of Cell Phone Photos, but you cannot tell which child is Jared and it really doesn't do it justice but it's something.
