Day 36 - Fri Oct 26Today was our first dance. Woo-hoo!
For a variety purposes, our school's policy is to hold an after-school dance for the 6th graders and a separate evening event for the 7th and 8th graders.
The 6th grade dances are sight to behold. Boys lining the perimeter. Girls trying to replicate the latest steps. Not usually all that exciting for those of us there to supervise the event.
When the after-school dance is done, the parents are waiting en masse in front of the school for their little cherubs. The scene is not far from the paparazzi on the Sunset Strip. But then a true superstar made a surprise appearance. . .
A Sharp-shinned Hawk practically buzzed a group of students. The bird flew over the parking lot and headed toward a line of trees across the street. Changing into my hawkwatching alter-ego, I announced the bird to the dozens of students and parents still within earshot. Many of them were able to get on it before it stooped behind the trees.
Kids became curious. Parents became kids and curious! A flurry of interesting questions were hurled at me = )
The best thing about this mini-event was that these were students (and parents) other than my own. This Pledge to Fledge reached a new audience. Again - WooHoo!
