We went to Leanna's school's bookfair at Barnes N Nobles last night-she did a scavenger hunt and we listened to the principal read Jeff Foxworthy to the kids. Yeah, the you know you're a redneck if....guy. Apparently he's written a kid's poetry book. It was cute. One Mom was like, Jeff Foxworthy? With her hands ready to cover her kid's ears! LOL. No redneck jokes though! Part of the profits during the event go to the school. We did our part we bought two books(though from the cheapest selection I could find!) and a yummy Starbuck's coffee, for charity! Yes, it was coffee for the children! I so wish we had money to spend, there are so many many great books there. I had to pull away a car book when Timothy wasn't looking, and Justin was trying to climb shelves to get books on snakes and bugs.
I overheard the principal telling one of the staff members that they don't get many students to turn up at these events, but they try to make them special for those who do. I thought that was really sweet-it's a very low income, minority school, but the staff is dedicated enough to still try to do their best. I think it would be very easy to get discouraged in a job like that, so you have to applaud the dedication it takes on their part.
